Howdy folks

 

@Bridge4 wouldn't be surprised if someone goes off the road on 116 or 8A this morning. Both are all ice, but don't look it.

 

I'm headed to the dentist soon and will be driving through there on the way back. Good heads up!!

 

Yeah, it is a bit slippy out there.

 

3-5 inches of rain and snow today supposedly and another 1-3 tomorrow...ain't gonna be getting any better! I'm gonna stick it in 1st or 2nd to get down black brook without crashing over the edge

 

I broke in 2 places, long story, but it was aching and I could move it everywhere just not above my head.
I was about 15 at the time though.

 

Morning all. Looks like some weather again tonight. Yesterday was freezing rain all day; here's hoping this is better.

 

my dad bought HF boxes a couple years ago for the tools he keeps at home, Its held up great, and seems to be very well built. although I do love HF haha

 

I went though some arm pain. Went to the doc and it turned out the problem wasn’t my arm. It was my shoulder. Torn rotator cuff. Some surgery and post op rehab. Now, my shoulder/arm is fine.

 

Yep... we can get away with shit like that when we are younger.

About 14 years ago, had a nasty highside.... sore, but, picked up the bike, got it back in the pacevement, called a buddy, loaded it into the truck... when home, cleaned up the road rash, self medicated, and moved on...

Went to PT Monday....

Long story short,.., collar bone was broken up pretty good... didnt even know it

Yeah, its in the shoulder... kinda why I stopped, and came home, and called Dr.
I move heavy valves and big wrenches.... cannot afford to shred anything out of ego/pride.

Either way, taming advantage of it... putting little one on the bus, and them, Dr @0940

 

Why do machinist like Kennedy boxes so much anyways? What makes them different than a Snap-on, Mac etc?

Good luck. Hope you feel better

Hey buddy. How are you doing? Can you make it to the Toys for Tots run?

 

Thats what theyre getting me for xmas I think

 

It really sucks you cant use their coupons on the tool boxes

 

I need to buy a couple of these big boys. I have 8 boxes now but would love to consolidate them down to a big one. It would free up a lot of real estate in my garage. How much did this setup run you?

 

Thanks seth !! Just saved $140 and free shipping.They have 20% off going on right now.

 

Smaller tools, felt inserts, tradition, smaller boxes that last forever (mine are from the 70s). Plus we don't have tool dealers come, just tooling sales for the engineers (endmills, drills, face mills, etc.) I get my tools used from people I know or buy new from MSC. I've spent about $2k just in tools this year

 

Love it! Kinda weird to see snow packing up in November.

 

Well who could pass up on an offer like that?!

 

Wound up doing it Saturday night in my driveway.
