So Flareside.. What did you come home extra with? LOL!
The one on Craigslist I saw yesterday looked to be in pretty good nick and wasn't horribly priced... probably why it went so fast. Don't really have the space or tools to do a swap here unfortunately...

wow we are done with the sheep at the county fair! not so good on the lambs being judged, they were judged mostly by size and ours are on the small size! every one who looked at them thought they would win due to their build and proportion except the judge! oh well My daughter won grand champion showmanship in her class!

Good Afternoon Bill & Midwest.
I'm watching football. We don't get the Cards & I don't like that. I'm stuck watching the Raiders & Houston.

AWWWWW. Just got home from work! I had an EMERGENCY call. People are ID10TS!!!! Got to charge triple time, to walk up and flip a switch. And yes, I tried to walk them through it over the phone first, so I wouldn't have to drive for three hours on a SUNDAY. Oh well, back to the truck and the game. (I LOVE MY TIVO!!!)

Good afternoon all.

Midwest- I have will power.... I will buy this now! LOL

Bill,
Have you had good luck with Harbor Freight drill bits. I have a set and only use them when it is absolutely necessary. I have had problems with them twisting and breaking, especially if it something that I have to tap threads into.
