***CRIMSON RED DAILY THREAD***

[2Stater]

Got this 200-piece Craftsman socket set yesterday from a lady at work.  She's selling her her former husband's tools.  I have a show tomorrow and was going to take them to sell, but they're better than my current BlackHawk set.  Think I'll keep them and sell the others.  Also got a set of large Armstrong wrenches (1 5/8, 1 3/4, etc), a torque wrench, and a box of other goodies. 

It's like Christmas here on the den floor this morning.

For living in an area that's not heavily populated, you sure run into a lot of deals. Is there a sign on your pacle? Kinda like "Sanford & son" or do you travel about looking for deals, like "American Pickers"?

Probably harder to find deals in heavily populated areas.  Here I know everyone, or nearly.  I go to yard sales some, but mostly people just find me.  There are Friday evening auctions, but rarely do you find good tools there.

Cat burglar, MW?

I think one of our neighbors stalks the obituaries looking for stuff to buy from new widows.

My experience has been that women are much more difficult to deal with than men.  For instance, this woman had searched on line to price the Craftsman sets.  The retail for the 200-pc set was $199.  She wanted that for it. 

When women come to my table at shows, often they spend 30 minutes to an hour deciding on a knife.  Even if it's a $20 Old Timer, they worry over it and TALK about it forever.  They think they're in Sears.  Drives me nuts.

"Good morning." 

COFFEE.

Coffee drinking weather now. GM

It's always coffee drinking weather.

Hey, phil.  Coffee before dinner?

[Chechem]

Off to work.  Then ...

1.  pack for weekend show;
2.  auction tonight;
3.  FOOTBALL tomorrow.

I've had my AM reports filled out since maybe 3AM. Time for a power nap.

Since the moochers are back in school, me and the woman have the house to ourselves during the day.

I went to Starbucks this afternoon.  No more coffee today.

Morning boys. Overcast and mid 60s here. Feeling a little hungry. Did WV leave any food out overnight?

Torque wrench is a good 80-100 bucks. WIN

CB, you gotta quit talking about food. Remember, I'm dieting. BTW, guys, I'm at 15.5 lbs. lost this morning.

Really?  I found lots of them on line for $30 plus shipping.  This one has a purchase label in it (1998); made in Taiwan.  Is it a value too?  I have never used one at all.



Like this (1/2" drive).

Chinese is typically about 1/2 the price.

If you read your various owners manuals, you will probably learn a lot of things are supposed to be tightened to certain torques.  You cant work on an engine without one.  Just about every bolt on my tractor has a torque.  My dad left me 3.  Before that I was about to buy a craftsman for like 88 bucks.
