The passenger door has holes from that type of puller and thought it was time to move up a grade ;0)


Will let everyone know how it works when I use it.

I have my #12 old slid hammer still. I bought it off of a Snap On dealer, so I gave quite a bit for it, and have worked it pretty hard. And it has several different attachments with it.

Boring house

We're a boring bunch here in this house.
Shari was in bed just after 10:00. Tim made it until after midnight. I was up Netflixing until almost 2am.

Same here wife and I were in bed think it was 12:30 and that was only because I had to walk the dogs.


I did not even make it out to my garage as I kind of knew it was cold in there. I made chili and had no room in the house refrigerator so took it out to my garage refrigerator and took a quick look at the temp..........42*!
It was 46* out side, last year I was out there at this time working on the truck.

Shari and I did get out in the front yard and took down most everything from this years Christmas light display. since we had all of this rain coming in. So we're officially finished with the lights for the year.

Nothing like Harbor Frieght impact sockets to go with my expensive Dewalt impact right??

Went with intentions of just getting a 1/2" SAE set. But for $10 more got this set of 3/8 and 1/2 has both Metric and SAE.... so I went that route. Plus it came with a case, and to make it better fits in the bottom of my fancy dewalt carry bag.

Bob don't ever tell anyone who has lived her all their life that. Just tell them you only eat them on new year's day. It is easier than hearing the lecture on how much good luck they bring. My reply is usually "Did last year find fame and fortune for you?" They let it go after that question because they know what the next question is. Lol. "Didn't work did it?" besides there are better traditions to enjoy, Like pig cookers, whole hog and mason jar liquors. Sorry if I don't believe in it guys, I am a transplant too. 20 years now. Happy New Year to all of you my friends.

No disrespect to Bob's love of the season, But I have always found, was the best lights on Christmas is the families brake lights leaving your driveway. I saw that on Facebook and died laughing. Bigger families will get the joke.
