    A small gloat and a very happy man

    I have been looking for a band saw for months in the paper and on CL and have always been next on the list or sorry you just missed it. Well a friend of mine from work was telling me about his uncle who had a band saw and DC that he was thinking about selling. I talked to his uncle last night and set up a road trip for after work this afternoon.

    So after work this afternoon I took a little road trip to get my new/used band saw and a lightly used DC. Here it is after I off loaded it in my driveway. A 16" ShopFox band saw and a Jet DC1100......$500 out the door.

    I was not going to call the police on you for stealing until I saw you are a Buckeyes fan . Since you are, I had no other choice but to call in a theft report.

    Congrats on your new haul. Heck of a deal.

    You may have guessed it, but if not. I grew up 8 blocks from Michigan Stadium.

    I don't usually comment on machine gloats Grant... but I will comment on grand larceny and in this case a jury of 12 would find you guilty.. very guilty as charged.

    Congrats and I hope you enjoy jail food.

    Regards...

    Thumbs up Hey Grant,

    I just wanted to tell you two things, 1.) that you really got a good deal on both of them and 2.) the other thing I wanted to say was ~~~~~~YOU SUCK!

    Nice purchase Grant!
