So my son should invent an electric starter?

Good advice I wish I followed more closely.

Yeah....well....my dad always leaned towards reverse psychology. When he would correct us kids..I'd shout back.."BUT YOU DID IT!" and then he'd give me the evil eye glare and say, "do as I say, not as I do....if you know what's good for you."

Guess I knew what that meant!

Did you invent the electric starter? If so, maybe he will invent the flux capacitor?

Never open a zip from anyone unless you've been in contact with them specifically about what they are sending you. Even if it comes from someone you know, their email account could have been hacked and someone else is sending it. Same with many links....

As long as there's beer in it, I'm happy! But then again, that would be a mug wouldn't it? Ok fill my mug and pass the pretzels!

Cough, cough, cough.............dusty in here. If anyone is looking for a XMAS gift(s) for the DIY'er in their life, Black and Decker has a 20V, rechargeable system with various interchangeable attachments that seems pretty cool. If I was a contractor I wouldn't use them, but I'm not..............and they are available at Walmart!!

IT, Be mindful of battery storage. They are not cheap and you expose them to the elements you will replace them every year. I have the Craftsman version. Handy to have around, will do most short duration jobs. (Power saw and Sawsall)

So not good to store them in an unheated garage? Guess I'll need to store them in the basement. That's "if" I get them for Xmas of course............

 

[driz]

Don't keep them in an open windowed windowsill either. I just had s dewwalt go bad because rain blew in and went down inside last spring. If you do get em wet open the case if you can and dry them out. Lesson learned.

If you didn't watch the Baylor vs TCU game, you might have missed the best game of the year. WOW!
