    There was 5 of them here with my boss being the only one in the office. We use some for parts to sit on. The one I got was in his dads office from when he still ran the place.

    I had to disassemble it to get it out of the office and to fit in the car since I didn’t drive the truck today.

    Speaking of "acquiring" things...

    HR has new software to keep track of our annual training. Looking at the site, they have a section called "Extra Training". Now, normally, I'm not one to go out of my way for unnecessary training but some of these categories look like they might actually be worth while. Or at a minimum entertaining.

    Maybe not the Social and Behavioral courses. I get enough of that from you guys.

    If those are free or low cost there are some subjects well worthwhile. :thumbsup:

    Looks to be free.

    I started the first Carpentry and Hardware course. There is a test right at the beginning. Eight questions like "what is good practice when installing ceiling tiles?" The answers were "don't install them where there is a sprinkler head", two others I can't remember and "wear gloves" which is what I chose.

    A few others were math based, which I was able to do in my head until I got to "what is 12 1/4" + 10 7/32" and the answers all had decimals. Had to break out the calculator for that one. :laugh:

    First time posting in this thread, couldn’t really find a better place for it. Got a sweet deal on this Dewalt 2-pack at Home Depot today. Marked at $300, got it for $150 + Uncle Sam’s cut. Figured it would make wrenching on my bike and truck a whole lot easier. I wanted a corded impact originally, but I couldn’t pass up the deal. Still kicking myself slightly because it’s a tight month financially, but stoked.
