Default My 2nd trip to Harbor Freight

I went there intending to buy the multi function power tool (can we
just call it a mfpt?) at half price with coupon, a roller seat, full
price if I had to, and a couple small items and hopefully a bunch of
unadvertised specials. I'd go more often but it's a 100 mile round
trip.

What do you know, I forgot the coupon flyer. There at the mfpt's
someone left a coupon for half off. :-) Thanks stranger! Weaved
through all the isles picking up a couple things, forgot about the
roller seat. Then on my way to the checkout with only a few items, I
found a flyer someone else left there! It was different than the one
I forgot and besides the roller chair on sale, I found lots of good
bargains, many 50% off, some even more! I ended up spending a little
over $170, but got many real good deals! I now had an extra mfpt
coupon so I stuck it in the pile so the next person in need would find
it.

The odd part of the receipt is that it said I saved $28.48 Hell, I
saved more than that on just the mfpt. Most of what I bought was half
price, so where did they come up with the "you saved $28.48"? Was
that the unadvertised specials?

Back at home I demonstrated to my very interested girlfriend, the
MFPT.
I made a couple cuts on some wood, then while it was still running,
I
touched the same blade that cut the wood and it was harmless. (Of
course I had practiced this in private before the demonstration.)

Overall a great tool shopping day! I seem to need a larger tool box,
but I know I can't afford a larger snap-on box. Anyone know of some
large good/inexpensive tool boxes? This is already with all the power
tools on shelves, and lot's more tools hanging from the wall in back
of the work bench. Girlfriend says lack of room means I have enough
tools.
How silly she is.


What you need is more room = more tools to make more room. I understand
clearly. You need a more understanding woman. One who shares your
passion.
