  1. Since I am now working part time at the regular job, and now picking up some hours doing house carpentry…I want the dreidel ‘plumb bob’ to keep in my pouch as a talisman of sorts…

    @Phenry- still cracking up thanks from up north!

    Thanks, I needed that…

  2. There’s a Harbor “Fright” Store just down the road from where I work. Sometimes we stop there after going out to lunch to see what “single use” power tools are on sale. Some simple things like cable ties and such are good deals.
    Stay away from the cordless tools. The batteries they use are crap and are prone to igniting…

  3. @PHenry:

    I was hanging out with some relay testers at the power plant one day. A tech in the electrical control room would send test relay signals to breakers in the switchyard, where another tech would verify the desired operation. They used radios to communicate.

    At the end of one cycle, the inside tech told the switchyard tech to secure a panel.

    “But before you close that, did you check the keyway?”

    There was silence on the radio.

    “Did you check the keyway? Confirm.”

    “What’s a keyway?”

    “Oh, about an ounce.”

  4. back in the day we actually used the ‘Rockwell Automation Retro-Encabulator’ tape as a presentation for establishing & purchasing a new, automated control system for our standard Water & Wastewater Pumping Stations

    we could barely contain the laughter amongst ourselves … especially when the ‘corporate chair-persons’ kept nodding their collective heads w/ their ‘understanding’ & blessed our design recommendation

    P.S. the Rockwell presentation is a blatant rip of the ‘Chrysler Turbo-Encabulator

  5. The thing is that since my brother died I have two of each of these specialty tools, like a set of hard plastic tire tube removers and metric spoke tightners… Now that my father passed away last year, I now have THREE channel lock slip wrenches, two 1/4 HP double ended grinders and three sets of both metric and SAE allen keys where you can never find the one you want anyway. Sad I am but I would rather have my brother and father now instead of all the tools….
