Well through all that grief, did you at least find anything good?

Thats a mighty fine looking air unit you purchased, hope it works longer than the last.

Your new compressor looks really nice. Should give you all the air you need to run all kinds of different tools.

The biggest problem we have in our shop is keeping work gloves. We buy them by the 6 pack and there have to be 30 pairs floating around somewhere in there, but when we need a pair we either have two lefts or three rights. No idea where the mates go.

Interesting...Sounds like there's a glove thief on the loose in Ft. Myers, too.....

Probably the same place where missing socks hide.

I thought I was the only one with the glove problem, I've got all kinds of right hand gloves but the left hand ones are gone??????

Dave,
When I was painting a lot I would use my air compressor tank and trash can to fine tune my spray gun. I still have the 30 gallon trash can; there's lots of memories there.
About the coupe..... I've been so busy helping my son and working on my stock T that if you had it done I wouldn't have time to work on it anyway. I'm just happy that you are feeling better. Maybe in a month or so I'll bring out the chassis so we can bolt down the sheet metal and you can give me suggestions on how to complete the project.
When we haul in a car we fill the trunk and the insides with all kinds of scrap metal, dirt off the shop floor, roller blades, or anything that might have been in a car at one time.........
Keep well my friend!!!
Tom

It always amazes me that beginning one little project as far as housekeeping always seems to "beget" another and so on.

I think it's just like building a Hot Rod, Dave.... When you get started on the project all these other "gotta-do's" just pop up....and there ya go.......

Yes I did!!!! I've been looking for the chute for my lawnmower that makes it a bagger instead of a thrower...Found it!!!! Haven't seen that for three years!!!! What I did find was a lot of junk that I'd been keeping for no reason at all... It's now being used as ballast in a Dodge minivan that's going to the recycler next week... With the price of scrap right now, that was probably the best find of all.
