    Wedding or drunk time?

    The purpose is the wedding. Hell, give the money that would have been used to the newlyweds as a way to maybe help pay a down payment on a house! Better that than to some big mouthed booze pusher.
  8. Us too!

    We have freezing rain, snow, and lots of wind. Makes me glad that my workshop is in the basement, with heated floor, and required no outdoor soujourn. Am making some bird feeders for Christmas gifts....

    Middle finger for me!

    Took a chunk of the end of my middle finger on my left hand off with a chisel about six years ago. No real damage, just a forever flat spot. More blood than pain, until the ER doc had to numb it. Now...

    Caveat emptor (I learned that from the Brady Bunch!). Buyer beware. I cannot stress enough the need to look at buyer's feedback. The only time I was disappointed was when I did not do a thorough...

    Use a similar Sears one...

    I bought a 19.2 v package deal from Sears. I like the angled one, when I remember to use it. Forget that it's there. But good power and decent control in tight spots. Dunno about the Bosch, but...
