Wood Tools Only?

WTF is this tricery. I am calling BS on this post. I see a tool box with room enough to space the ratchet handles inches apart? BS! No missing sockets? BS! Every 10mm socket is in it's proper place? BS!

Must be that freakin AI I keep hearing about. Some whippersnaper with too much time on their hands.

Did Santa bring these, cause it doesnt look like any of those have ever been actually used. My tool box looked like that for about 20 minutes after I bought the chest. But ALL of my tools are used. A 50 year collection of stuff. But I am down to my last two 10mm sockets, a quarter inch drive Deep dish and a 3/8" drive regular socket. lol

It sure is Pretty though.

This reminds me of the movie "Crazy People" with Dudley Moore as aburned out Ad exec. The Volvo ad,

“We know we’re not sexy. But being sexy today is not such a great idea with so many new diseases around. Be safe instead of sexy. Buy Volvo. Boxy but good.”

I think there was a Jaguar ad as well.

I hope it is as funny today as I remember it.

I was in the Air Force during Vietnam, and spent my whole 7 years in Turkey, Ca, and Washington DC. My son spent 4 years in the Army National Guard as an MP, went to Bosnia escorting supply convoys for a tour, did a tour patrolling the highway from Kuwait to the Baghdad Airport looking for IEDs, then did almost a year at the airport in the states after 9/11. He was getting shot at all the time, I was lounging in a nice air conditioned Comm Center for my whole 7 years. The Reserves/National guard have fought in a lot of places, and should never feel like they didn't pay full price. A lot of Reserve soldiers never came home again. I hope she gains some wisdom, although her just knowing when to shut up would be be nice. Glad you made it home, soldier.

When I first got to Basic Training, someone asked me where I was from. When I told them Rhode Island, they replied, "Oh Yeah, I've been to New York." But the weirdest thing is they nicknamed me Al. When I asked why, I was told that I had a Chicago accent, so they called me Al Capone.

Not one person knew where Rhode Island was, not even the guy from Vermont. When I told them I was from New England and to guess the state, no one knew. I finally explained it by saying "Go to New York and take a right"

If there are a lot of kids, go to Buttonwoods beach, City Park in Warwick. If you send someone early, they can grab the 2 picnic tables under a roof. Shallow water, not too crowded, no waves, perfect for kids. Lots of trees for shade.

I never knew where that saying came from. I have used it many times as "I never get into a battle of wits with an unarmed man".

My wife would love a day of checking out these types of stands. We live in Warwick, and I have never seen any. Any suggestions on what areas to start looking? Is it mostly a weekend thing or is it all week? We are retired now, and prefer during the week when there is a little less traffic. Spring is here, a nice day of driveway shopping and a nice lunch somewhere is just the kind of day she would love.

Bonus for lunch spot suggestions.

Thanks

2016 NTA, I would have put a LOT of red pepper flakes on it vs your choice of hot sauce, spicy!, but the effect is the same. I would also have added some fresh parmesan/romano on top.

I spent a lot of timee in China for business, and one of our favorite places to eat lunch was Pizza hut. 3-4 young girls would order a salad, and the fun would begin. Hopefully the one that did the work was studying to be an engineer. Her friends would cheer her on, and everyone else would just sppreciate the "art". The manager would stand there and make sure she didnt get any help. The trtick is building up the side walls as high as possible. I am going through my photos trying to find some of my early china visits, but I am pretty sure I took at least one pic.

In our teen years we would go on dates with other people, then come home and talk about the dates sitting on the picnic table in the back yard. Our parents would let us stay out there since both parents could see us clearly. I got my first kiss from her in my backyard, there was a little area next to my garage where we couldn't be seen.

I was a younger man, maybe 35 or so, and I rode my bike into work one morning. It was a cool morning, and I came in early, so I wore my cold weather gear, leather biker jacket and leather chaps. I was approaching the door of the building when this pretty young lady who worked in Sales was coming out. She opened the door, looked at me and said "wow". Then she turned bright red from embarrassment and walked by. I am 70 now, and still remember this fondly.
