LOL Sooooooooooo may ways I could twist that lol I can tell you when we called them on the Base down in Tx for a BS citric clean spill the two EPA guys showed up in a Porsche got all suited and stuff paper suit, booties etc . We were laughing it is citric clean 98% / 2 % petro products according to the test lab label . It was waiting pick up you could pretty drink the damn stuff and it wouldn't have hurt you lol. They still made us sawdust it up out of the spill pit put it in over pack drums and send it off .. LOL

Oh, the hits keep coming. At least you're home.

 

FIL lives in Brevard. Beautiful place

 

No doubt.
I have to check a water heater later. Outside closet.
Everything down here isn't geared for cold weather.

 

wow I didn't know there was so much to the Craftsman's name and manufacturing.
thanks
now I need to go look at mine

 

When I got my reenlistment bonus on my first enlistment first thing I bought was a FJ55 Land Cruiser. Second thing was $1,000 in Craftsman tools. They had a 50% off sale the next week and went back to the store with the receipt and Sears sent me a check for $500. They have sat in storage sheds near the salt air on both coasts while I was deployed so some have rust on them now.

In 82 took the ferry across Puget Sound to join the CoOp at REI in Seattle. That is where they started and was the only store at the time. Bought one of the first Goretex Parkas ever made there. It was made down in Oregon by Columbia. Yes before Ma Columbia got in a pissing match with Gore and went to hell in a hand basket they made some pretty decent stuff. Called REI a number of years ago for my member number and sure enough they had me on record.

 

I thought it was worth 20 bucks for lifetime membership.
Just checked and 370.00 lowas on sale for 276.00!!

Nice wrenches btw.

 

My membership was $5 at the time and I thought it a lot LOL. Iowas are damn fine boots if they fit your feet.

Thanks, wish they didn't have rust on them. But still work just fine. Have thought about using the citric acid thing to clean them up but the coating is worn off them where rusted so not sure it will help.

 

Ain't missing much.
The Maine store is small. The West Hartford store ain't much bigger.
Many of the catalog items are not stocked in smaller stores.
Now the Pa. store, that's another story.
Think they stock everything in there and I can get in trouble there.
Not only that, This place...

Between the three, I can drop some serious coin. Glad I'm 3 hours away.

 

REI is a great place to by stuff,been a member since the 70's.LLBean,Cabelas also very good.

 

Morning all

I have bought so much from REI, for me and the scouts, one dividend check and a sale got me a YETI cooler for $150.
Now I walk around the store and I have nothing else to buy, so sad, so much money. Between the truck and the scouts I have spent my retirement fund. I am now in recovery mode.

 

Lowas are my favorite. they cost more but last longer and I wear them everyday and my feet are happy which means my back and knees are happy too.

 

Same here.



5 and dime store has a good selection of coolers and it's where I've seen igloo makes a USA made injection molding chest. Very nice. Seems more are being made here now.
Yeti coolers from Philippines the mugs are from china.
My chest is made in China but couldn't afford an injection molded one 75 quart and still eat.

 

I paid 230 for 75 quart last year. Injection molded.
A "kodiak".

 

normally I would never pay what they charge for a YETI but at half price it was worth it. I was looking at the fridge freezers but 800 bucks was more than I could justify.

 

Sorry.
Is a KODI not KODIAK.

 

Ah crap 730, gotta go to work then a funeral, then back to work, I am not looking forward to today

 

Damn.
I use arctic ice blocks in mine. There's a fridge and a freezer block. Small and large.
