"SteveB" toquerville,utah@zionvistas wrote in message ... Went yard saling today. Three pairs of new welding gloves. A new hard hat. Two Stearns fishing vests. A Crescent spud wrench. A 7" Milwaukee grinder. Some hefty chisels. A MONDO screwdriver. A new nuts and bolts box with separations, a new 6" vise, a couple of WYPO tip cleaners, and a few other things, all for less than $20. I like yard sales in my part of the country. (rural Utah) Excellent! Especially the 7" grinder. Last week I got a router table for $4. The garage sales are a new sport for me. Fortunately my wife embraced them the same way... -- Michael Koblic, Campbell River, BC |

(rural Utah) Steve Congrats! Steve, I snared a hand scraper (replaceable carbide tip) yesterday for $1. Asked the seller how much he wants and he replied "Don't know what it is, but give me a buck". Kind of asked him why he doesn't know, and he replied that it was his son-in-law's. He died a year ago right on this spot where we are standing. His driver drove over his head. I didn't ask for more details. BTW, must have been a trucker. Tons of big truck stuff. Ivan Vegvary |
