Morning Rob, Randy. Playing with Important Nuclear Things (ooo, sounds soo impressive!) this morning, I'll be back in a bit. I'll check out that song too, Dallas.

 

Man! Talk about quiet!! Hellloooooooooo................

 

i know.. i don't think we will make the split!

Pat.. because you keep bringing it up.. found you that brass rail you need for your bar.

Brass Rail for Bar

 

Sorry guys... just too busy at work today. Maybe I should tell the boss that work is cutting into my chat time again!

 

ha! go ahead and tell the boss that rob and see what he/she says! hahahaha

hope they can take a joke!

 

Yeah, that might be a career ending conversation!

But, on the upside, I would be able to sit at home drinking beer and chatting on FTE all day... wonder if the wife would mind?

 

Hey guys. I think you showed me that rail before Dallas. I just need to get the one I'm looking at ordered.

Rob, you should put your foot down, and explain to them that you need your posting time!!LOL!

 

Well, gents, I'm going to scoot on outa' here. I'll check in first thing in the morning, I have tomorrow off, and I have to mow out at the in-laws (yeeha). Have a good night, guys, I'll talk to you tomorrow.

 

I'm about 4 pages behind......but most of the guys at work have $30k and up in tools. Kenny and I are just starting out.....I have about $12k of Mac/Cornwell junk in a cheap International Tool Box sold to me by none other than NAPA.......it does the job but it's only 41" so it's full. I need to upgrade. I'm either going to get a 58" Snap-On, a 58" Cornwell like Kenny's, or a 67" Cornwell.....I don't know for sure but I'm guessing that the big Cornwell will be about the same price as the Snap-On one by the time I get it like I want it. There's probably about another $5k in tools that will get spent this year at school. The old timers that started out in the mid 70's at my age say that a basic set was about $250....now it's $2500 for the same brand!!!!

For most people Harbor Freight, NAPA, Craftsman, etc are GREAT tools. I use mine everyday and they need to work everytime, and take all the abuse I throw at them. If you opened the tool box in my pickup you'd find Stanley, and some cheap no-name junk (I did bugger up a 3/8" extension out of that no-name set though).......
