Thanks, not too much, the little pumpkin was starting to get mushy so it was hard to cut. The legs are just pipe wrap foam with coat hangers to make them bend and a red light from the Xmas stuff.

Wow! That had to be kind of tough to deal with. Not only losing money, but having to take the time to mess with all that other stuff.

It was Jeremy. Whenever I bought a new tool I wrote down the model# serial# and all that stuff. If you could register it I would. That list made life so much easier for me. When I matched everything up I got it back. Some of the other contractors had to go to court to get them back.

I agree. In the mind of a woman though, what makes a decent first date? It's been so long since I've been on a first date, I'm out of practice. Seems like dinner and a movie is not for me anymore. I prefer to do something where you can talk and interact, not just sit there in the dark next to each other.

From my wife- Movies are lame, you cant talk. Walks are amazing, or somewhere you can interact with decent friends, preferably ones that think highly of you and make her feel welcome. We sat on a park bench for 6 hours talking after our first dinner, the rest is history. I think if there's a connection, the rest will take care of itself. But then, what the heck do I know.

That's a pretty dang good idea, Jim. Makes me think I should take an inventory of all my tools. Over the years I've gathered quite a collection of hand and mechanics tools. I don't even want to know how much I've spent on tools, and it's not even expensive stuff like Snap-On. Almost all my stuff is Craftsman or Kobalt. Not that I use my tools in my line of everyday work, but you never know when that list might come in handy.
