yes... back at you.

it's good we have at least one reminder each year to be of service to others, and possess a charitable spirit.

I think everything I buy from Halloween to the end of the year counts as a Christmas present.

This year only one item went into the electronics, not counting music and DVD... a new sound card got added and it made a worthwhile impact IMHO.

otherwise I just got clothes, shoes, underwear, a portable table saw, 30 gal 2 HP compressor, framing nail gun, adjustable roller stand, and some asst. air tools.

With any luck at all my handle wont' have to change from 'blindjim' to 'Mr. Nubby'.

Actually I am blind. Well, legally so anyhow. I'll put it this way.... my plans for a 1080p front projector to replace my 720p projector, have been scratched off the list entirely. To me, now, there's no diff.

If you think about it... how best could one drive a nail if their vision was very very poor?

Why point and shoot of course! Nail gun seemed the only real solution. It is in fact. Put the tip where you want a nail, push the gun down onto the surface to release the safety, and squeeze the trigger! Bang! Done. Next....

1-1.5 in. nails I can usually set and drive in with just a big hammer... but now I have the compressor, I'll probably just get a finishing nail gun too. It'll look cleaner and I'll need less spackle, and touch up paint afterwards.

AS for the armed forces representing the free world nations, perhaps some shining day in our own future, we'll finally figure out killing one another seldom if ever settles anything.... permanently.

Having been a former service member, I'm against war. Anywhere. Darned near for any reason too.

My prayers go out to all of those men and women now serving their respective countries in an effort to provide or restore freedom to those now without it, or those from whom have had it removed. may all of our armed forces representatives be returned to us without harm.

AS well, to all of those members here, and their families, I extend more prayers. May all of your Holidays this year come to you safely, prosperously, and enjoyably. May they exceed your expectations.

Although freverently suggested by my sales person at Home Depot, or as I refer to the joint as my ‘Adult Toy Store’, I declined to add on the Super pack of gauze and velcor polypropalene really niffty reusueable and it doubles as a Western neck tie in a pinch, a color coordinated ‘tourniquet’.

I told him the only trick here is that one needs be just a bit smarter than the machine they intend to operate, and many if not all of those emergency follow up measures can be eliminated.

Merry Happy… Swamp…

If I needed to uh, 'nail' someone I'd use a more apporpriate tool Remember, different jobs require different tools. An H&K MP5 or mp7 in 556 would be a good choice, but the Israelis have a pretty competent tool as well but in 9mm.

These are what I call finishing nail guns.
...thought you'd like that one.... although it was a slam dunk natural.

Problem is you just can't leave 'em lay around a job site unattended. They have a havit of getting lost.
