Northern Tools sent me a hard back catalog.

Wow, I must be someone special
 

Northern Tools sent me a hard back catalog.

You must be easier to please than me.

A while back I got a $200 gift certificate for them. I had a real hard time
finding things I could use in the store. Everything looked like Asian knock
off crap to me. I must be too fussy. Now, give me a McmasterCarr certificate
and I'd be in heaven.

That's not being too fussy, Karl.
That's just having your eyes open and knowing what you see...

You just have to realize that any given faulty component in any given
Chiwanese article is easily manufactured and replaced by our "Just get
it done" type of person, Karl. Yea, you were too fussy.

Some time back, someone here posted a page of Harbor Freight coupons
from one of the magazines. I printed this out for when I might make my
first visit to a HF outlet (Port Huron,MI)
I found the foot operated switch I was looking for, along with a few
other items and, yes they did honor the 20% discount coupon and the
free ($5.99) screwdriver set. A totally satisfactory shopping trip!

Was in Harbor Freight today. Looking at welding carts. Have to measure my
storage location to see if the Oxy/Act cart is to big. Did buy a storage
tube for welding rods, and 3 bug zappers swatters @2.99 each. Cheap enough
to toss when they stop zapping. And a card of miscellaneous small batteries
or $3. Has 6 of the AG3 I need for my travel clock and have been to cheap
to pay $2 each for 3x. Other than that, nothing. But since I do not get in
that area to often, bank acct is safe.

'In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith
becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact
equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man
because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the
person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...
There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American,
but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag,
the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the
English language.. and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a
loyalty to the American people.'
Theodore Ro osevelt 1907
