Surplus used to sell 7.5hp 3phase motors routinely for $20 (I know, I
bought several) but nowadays they want $150. F**k 'em!

They are still useful for air fittings. I have a lifetime supply of
the good ones, can't remember the brand now. Anyway, to disconnect
them you have to turn-pull-turn, and they release the air gently. They
are also good for those swiveling hoist rings, and as far as I know
they still sell new safety glasses for 25¢. But I'm all stocked up on
those things. I don't go there much anymore.

Gee, if someone goes there and finds the .25 safety glasses, someone pick
up a dozen for me and mail em? Be happy to reimburse. I like having them
laying all over the place, next to every machine would be best. Then there
is no excuse not to wear them.

HomeDepo cleared out their combination safety glasses / earmuffs a while
back. I bought 4 sets at $5. Anytime I go to do anything I turn around and
grab some hearing protection now. Just check for black widows first
