    New Tool Gloat

    The Performax was delivered on Monday afternoon. Probably won't make it out of the garage and down to the shop until the weekend. I've been wanting one of these for a while and finally broke down and bought it from amazon.

    Don't mind the mess in the garage, doing a little fall cleaning.

    Christopher, I'm pretty sure that new Performax will be incompatible with the Pennsylvania climate. Just to spare you the misery of having it work so poorly in your shop, I'll make the necessary sacrifices and allow you to store it in the nice, comfortable California climate of my shop.

    Nice gloat, you lucky dog! (Actually, it was probably more the result of hard work than luck...way to go.)

    - Vaughn

    Vaughn,
    I appreciate your concern for the well being of the Performax in this climate, but I'm going to do what I can to provide it a good home. Your welcome to come play anytime!

    I was in Cali from 2000 from 2003, so I can certainly appreciate the warmer climate year round, but I was missing the seasons.

    Well...you certainly picked a place with "seasons", all right! Hot and humid summers and about the bitterest winters in Pennsy-tucky! I still don't believe I made it through four years in that town with one pair of sneakers...LOL!

    Yeah, there's no doubt we have seasons. I do enjoy living in this area, it's so beautiful. As a matter of fact, my favorite time of year is here. Love to see the leaves change color and the weather has been fantastic... low 70s.

    Speaking of those 4 years, they were good times.

    So Chris do you get out on that wheeled easy chair & blow those leaves around after they fall off the trees?

    Have fun with you new Performax smoooooothing out the rough spots.
    I usually find it much easier to be wrong once in while than to try to be perfect.
