clean out a barn, clean out a machine shed from the 50's with nothing but rusted out crap, tear down a stupid giant wood ski jump that someone built for some reason 
tear down 2 garage sized sheds, get about 16 wheels and tires swapped around and balanced, rewire the garage, find an old s10 or mazda b2200 to make into a work truck, build a ladder rack for set work truck, fix the PTO snow blower attachment for the old john deer so i dont have to shovel a 3/4 of an acre driveway every 3 days this winter (we get a hell of alot of snow) and once everything is torn down I have to rent a big a$$ trailer or find someone who can haul away about half a garbage dump worth of crap from the barn machine shed and downed buildings... man... this is gonna be a busy and expensive fall...

True, but if you saw either of my garages you'd understand. It's hard enough to even walk into them let alone actually do anything inside with all the stuff laying around. Any work I do has to be outside. Even in winter.

wow you must get really good milage with that big cargo box on there. 
===========
when i saw this thread, i thought, wait till allan shows up.
===========
for me?
let's see. get sammi greased. (i have a samurai. ok, 2 sammys) change oil, add lucas oil stabilizer.
fix a bunch of little things with that: heater, leaks in the interior. fix drivers window so it'll roll up and down without help, swap driver and passenger seats so i get the seat with no rips in it.
build bushguard, put on rock rails and rear locker.
fix rust holes in floor
get truck to bodyshop to put on rear bumper and stuff after i got rearended.
eventually re-do truck in LEDs and try out some 29s with stock gears and no lift.
try to get my friends dad to ok us putting my sammi #2 in his barn to build into a buggy. it was cheap but had no body. meaning no steering wheel, pedals, guages, seats etc. very easy to work on cause no body gets in the way.
but also very rusty. i'm hoping that there'll be a frame left when we chip off all the rust. rear tires won't turn (both of them), gotta fix that. get motor running.
i have some moderate buggy plans for sammy #2.
