It is one year old and has been used enough to pay for it self a few
times over! ;~)
Yeah! come on down and you can borrow it inside my shop.


Didn't I read something lately about your garage and your street
sloping away from your property? Maybe all he has to do is to wait
down the street for it to come rolling by.




I try to pay attention to NOT forgetting to lower the saw after moving
it. It really is likely to roll out of the garage as it does roll that
easily.

Which reminds me, my next door neighbor is an accident looking for a
place to happen. As it stands so far I have see her initiate 2
accidents with in 100' of her house in the last 18 months.

First accident, where she was not even in the vehicle. I only heard the
accident and then walked outside to witness the aftermath. There her
car sat in the middle of the street. She apparently parked, change that
to "stopped", the car in her garage and got out. The car rolled out of
the garage, down the driveway, across the street, partially up the
neighbors driveway stopping after coming into contact with the bumper of
the neighbor's truck, and then back into the street.

Second incident was a few months ago. I was in the front yard talking
to a neighbor and here comes the next door neighbor again. She
apparently had difficulty negotiating the left hand turn on to our
street. She lives second house from that corner, I'm third house from
the corner. Anyway she swung way too wide, hit the curb and stopped.
She had to back up and turn the steering wheel more to the left to get
around the corner.

I'm waithing for the day that she either drives through the back of her
garage and or through the garage door. The roof of her car always "just
clears" the bottom of the door as the garage door opener is lifting the
door. Her car is in and stopped before the garage door is finished
going up.


She likes the game of timing it... Eventually she'll be so confident,
that she'll learn... Until then enjoy the show, after that it will stop.
