It's one of the big Hardware box stores, like Lowes and Home Depot. Must not have them down that way.

Ah ok, no we don't. our customers are base oriented. we don't really have walk up customers like that. It's all oilfield related.

Happy Birthday Patt.

This fiber splicing is keeping me busy. Still doing Berliners on the weekends. But I am enjoying being home. Tonight is the first night I haven't slept in my bed in 2 weeks.

Thanks Robert! Had a nice birthday, got a new pair of Oakley sunglasses from the wife, and gift certificates from the kids for the place I buy tools from. Oh, and a great dinner at my favorite BBQ place!

Hey guys I replaced the springs and shocks on the front of my 06 E350 bucket van. The drive rside shock was the hardest I have ever changed. I could not get a wrench on the top of the shock. I finally broke out the torch and made me an opening.
