Never worked in a hardware store.. but I always thought it would be a very cool job. Things are too complicated I think. No one can convince me that half the wonderful things are really necessary. Fuzzy
Just was just talking with Fuzzy about beat up razors, and the current topic here made me think of another story... A friend of the family had just got a new truck. And like so many other guys with a new truck he was babying the truck. Somebody teased him about it once and he made some comment about missing having a beat up truck that he didn't have to worry about when he went out (hunting, camping, fishing, etc...). Time goes by and one day while watching a game we start hearing an occasional thunk. Finally, Kelly goes out to take a look to see what the racket is. He ends up finding his young son with a collection of rocks, a bat, and scratches, dents, and lots of damage to the side of his new truck. Kelly's boy lights up looks at his daddy, and proclaims that he is just helping his daddy by beating up his truck for him so he has a beater to drive around in. :happy102
now THAT is a funny story there Justin, Love it.. and how do you react to that as the father hummm Fuzzy
As I recall, Kelly ended up leaving for a while... went on a long walk as it were. Perhaps stopped at a bar in a nearby county (we were a dry county). I was something like 12 myself at the time so I wasn't paying the best attention. My sense of preservation told me to leave the adults alone.
hey... pass it this way as well! He doesn't want it anyway... unless its pepper sauce... But on second thought... with backed up plumbing, he probably wouldn't want that either.
you got that one right.. so I think my next big quest will be for a double ring. have to save up some plate for that though. I was talking to Dave on the phone the other day..... I really want one of those things... Jim you might recall that I alreadys said to rent a track hoe and fix the plumbing.. or use it to dig the back house. Fuzzy

OR... you could just luck out like Jason and have your wife bring one home from a flea market. Egads! I still can't believe that luck! :happy088
Well I didn't literally mean your wife... your room mate, etc... would work as well... Sorry... Jim can't give the warning... he had the bottle before it was too late.
Me neither.. but then again, I still haven't made it to a flea market yet... I just don't have the time and feel wrong taking off on an hour each way trip to go to the nearest...
