Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

basically what i try to do.

ive had a NIB light switch not work...

 

i find things i forgot i had bought The other Month i found a New Complete Torch I found a New Evolution Mag Drill New in the box I never used i should sell some of this stuff

 

Getting the Christmas decorations out of the storage room this year, found a brand-new in box reciprocating saw that was purchased in 2011!! Neither wife nor I have any memory of buying it, and it's a chain-store cheapy (so I'm pretty sure I didn't buy it - it's not red! ).

 

I’ve got a sinus infection I do believe, got leaves up Monday and Tuesday and I think all the dust got me. Sent my doctor a message today and he called me, wanted me to go get tested. I said nah. I feel fine other than my nose and throat, he sent me a nasal spray to the pharmacy. He said if it don’t help let him know. Hopefully it’s just a sinus infection and nothing major, praying the wife and kids don’t get it.

 

Isn't it great when you find tools that you forgot you bought?
I was attempting to clean and found another 6 pipe wrenches and my big flat sewer snake.
(Hope I don't need that anytime soon.)

 

I don’t know how many pipe wrenches I have, some in tool box at work, home, tractor toolbox and some in the toolbox on the welding trailer. Not sure why. I use the big ones to bend stuff more than they’ve been on pipe.

 

Seems a lot of young people these days are disabled -- they have an irrational fear that a shovel will burn their hand...

 

Seems like that makes it easier on the children that had fathers in the house.

 

5 digit ZIP codes were introduced in 1963 so it is newer than that.

Dumore still makes that tool in the USA today. $350

If this came from where I think it did, the man who passed away (estate sale) he worked for Sears and had a lot of craftsman tools, I bought a jigsaw and router as well. Threw the jigsaw away today, the handle was broke. I also bought a sander, used it twice and it burnt up.

 

I had that last week.

Nasty 2 day headache, runny nose, burning eyes, then it moves into your chest and you get a room clearing cough.

I had to sleep 3 nights in a room with a lower temperature so I could breath. It must have helped shrink the sinuses. I guess not having the gas fireplace was supposed to happen.

My wife didn't get it. I just have a few caughing jags as of present and a little residual nasal congestion. Still staying away from peeps.

 

I watched this all the way through.
Very relaxing.

When I was cleaning the shop today the kids were doing what they do when they can’t help me. Yerp, they’re both on the tops of the ladders.

 

Funny but, mines funnier…..
Disconnected a guys shitbox car battery at the race shop.
Then I gas welded the doors, hood, and trunk shut..

 

Theres got to be a great story leading up to this?!?

 

Found a photo of a few of the pipe wrenches, the 48” and 36” I traded for a welding job. I ask the guy what he wanted for them and he said a dollar an inch. He was retiring from plumbing.

 

@Fargo Taco when do you return home?
