So, I was in Grainger today picking up a 3/8" NPT tap to do a quickie repair
job for my FIL (his spring mechanic's air table actuator valve had a 3/8"
pipe nipple broken off in it). This was to be performed before my head
exploded from the fever that had been pounding me the better part of the
week. As soon as I walk in the door, I see it. A gasoline powered air
compressor capable of 11.8CFM @ 90psi. I had bee thinking about getting one,
but the budget didn't allow. 'Til now.

Grainger had the thing at less than half off. The reason? It had a leaky
regulator, so the the local Ingersoll-Rand sevice center repaired & tested
it. They had to put gas in it to do so. Grainger can't sell an item with gas
in it as new. This means a $985 compressor for $450. Plus the gas in the
tank.

I took it outside to "try before I buy". It has a similar Honda engine that
my pressure washer has, so I know how to set all the levers. Started up
first pull. A little noisy, but pressures up quickly and then idles down to
a whisper.

I'll take it.

Maybe now I'll get off my ass and install the quarter round on the
baseboards in the house...

By the way, to say that I have a ****load of taps, would be an
understatement.

Funny, 'cause it's true. Of couse, this means I need to find the mondo deal
on a pnuematic trim nailer.

Iggy?

Sadly I have that 2-1/2" x 16G nailer. Not sure what my next excuse will
be. Short hose I guess. Nah, actually I'll do them later this week.

Sweet. Just received a flash unit for my Sony V3 from the Amazon return
center. Not so thrilled to pay full freight for a return item.
