Have fun Nolan! I kinda like hauling horses... good basic manual labor kinda sets the world a bit more "right" for me...

Well, the BTW251 "only" can do 125ft-lbs of torque. the BTW450 can do 325!!! YOWZERS!!! Maybe I'll find a deal worth jumping on.... wish me luck!

oh yes....now I'm catching on (see my quote below for my excuse) The impact wrench is another animal altogether. I do not have that. I think my corded impactor with power inverter in the truck is cheaper than that!!! Great tool though. The impact driver works well enough for me, so far....Of course I spend all day putting in lag bolts and screws, not cracking lug nuts so depends on what you need it for....

Here's the BTW251 - for nearly $400 I'll be doing my lugs by hand!!
I know not everything at a pawn shop is stolen but I cannot make myself buy anything there because I always wonder if it used to belong to someone I know.

That sounds like great news! I'm sure you'd rather be out working....Glad your doing well. I'm good, getting ready to turn 30 this week...ugh...lol Getting the usual end of the year business crap done..so boring....but needs to be done. Might be looking to pick up a new gun this week, I was thinking about a .17 HMR. They are really cheap and fun to shoot. The AR about breaks the bank nowadays at nearly .50 a shot. and you've seen the way I shoot!!! Then again, I really need a good shotgun....

I've got 1000+ 9mm shells and 300+ .223 shells that need reloading... but I need to get the reloading equipment first I guess!!

I'm thinking another 9mm would be nice - maybe one of the XD-Ms in Bi-Tone... tasty!

If you plan to hunt & play with it, the Benelli Nova Pump is inexpensive & well built. For home defense/play, then the Rem 870 with a 24" barrel & full length tube mag would be better. That's about the extent of my knowledge, other than it costs some big bucks to get these toys now.

My bro in law just got the XDM 40, very nice gun. Thanks for the tip on the shotgun!

Plans for the b-day are to have a bunch of people over this coming friday night and have a big bbq, turn up the stereo some and just hang. Nothing too special. I dont want any gifts, just want everyone to make/bring their favorite drinks and let me have at it!!! I should be passed out pretty quickly...lol My banker buddy last year gave me a bottle of "Aftershock"? I think...ouch, thats like drinking gas! We'll see what this year brings..

I'm not exactly excited about turning 30 for some reason, no idea why. Guess just because it's another year older! lol

Didn't realize you were my little brother!! 30's no biggie! I turned 38 in September and I'd go up against most 28 year olds without a 2nd thought.
