  • A little levity

    In the interest of trying to cheer up those that had planed on going to Jesup or anyone that just needs a little levity in there day I give you this. I personally like the Belt Sander, not that it's ever happened to me .

    Tools Explained


    DRILL PRESS: A tall upright machine useful for suddenly snatching flat metal bar stock out of your hands so that it smacks you in the chest and flings your beer across the room, denting the freshly-painted project which you had carefully set in the corner where nothing could get to it..


    WIRE WHEEL: Cleans paint off bolts and then throws them somewhere under the workbench with the speed of light . Also removes fingerprints and hard-earned calluses from fingers in about the time it takes you to say, 'Oh **** '


    SKILL SAW: A portable cutting tool used to make studs too short.



    PLIERS: Used to round off bolt heads. Sometimes used in the creation of blood-blisters.



    BELT SANDER: An electric sanding tool commonly used to convert minor touch-up jobs into major refinishing jobs.



    HACKSAW: One of a family of cutting tools ... It transforms human energy into a crooked, unpredictable motion, and the more you attempt to influence its course, the more dismal your future becomes.



    VISE-GRIPS: Generally used after pliers to completely round off bolt heads. If nothing else is available, they can also be used to transfer intense welding heat to the palm of your hand.



    OXYACETYLENE TORCH: Used almost entirely for lighting various flammable objects in your shop on fire. Also handy for igniting the grease inside the wheel hub out of which you want to remove a bearing race.



    TABLE SAW: A large stationary power tool commonly used to launch wood projectiles for testing wall integrity.



    HYDRAULIC FLOOR JACK: Used for lowering an automobile to the ground after you have installed your new brake shoes , trapping the jack handle firmly under the bumper.



    BAND SAW: A large stationary power saw primarily used by most shops to cut good aluminum sheet into smaller pieces that more easily fit into the trash can after you cut on the inside of the line instead of the outside edge.



    TWO-TON ENGINE HOIST: A tool for testing the maximum tensile strength of everything you forgot to disconnect.



    PHILLIPS SCREWDRIVER: Normally used to stab the vacuum seals under lids or for opening old-style paper-and-tin oil cans and splashing oil on your shirt; but can also be used, as the name implies, to strip out Phillips screw heads..



    STRAIGHT SCREWDRIVER: A tool for opening paint cans. Sometimes used to convert common slotted screws into non-removable screws and butchering your palms.



    PRY BAR: A tool used to crumple the metal surrounding that clip or bracket you needed to remove in order to replace a 50 cent part.



    HOSE CUTTER: A tool used to make hoses too short.



    HAMMER: Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer nowadays is used as a kind of divining rod to locate the most expensive parts adjacent the object we are trying to hit.



    UTILITY KNIFE: Used to open and slice through the contents of cardboard cartons delivered to your front door; works particularly well on contents such as seats, vinyl records, liquids in plastic bottles, collector magazines, refund checks, and rubber or plastic parts. Especially useful for slicing work clothes, but only while in use.

      A Birthday to remember...

      Last week was my birthday and I didn't feel very well waking up on that morning.
      I went downstairs for breakfast hoping my husband would be pleasant and say,
      'Happy Birthday!', and possibly have a small present for me.
      As it turned out, he barely said good morning,
      let alone ' Happy Birthday.'
      I thought.... Well, that's marriage for you,
      but the kids.... They will remember.
      My kids came bounding down stairs to breakfast
      and didn't say a word.. So when I left for the office,
      I felt pretty low and somewhat despondent.
      As I walked into my office, my handsome Boss Rick, said,
      'Good Morning, lady, and by the way
      Happy Birthday ! ' It felt a little better
      that at least someone had remembered.
      I worked until one o'clock , when Rick knocked on my door
      and said, 'You know, It's such a beautiful day outside,
      and it is your Birthday, what do you say we go out to lunch,
      just you and me..' I said, 'Thanks, Rick,
      that's the greatest thing I've heard all day.
      Let's go!' We went to lunch.
      But we didn't go where we normally would go.
      He chose instead a quiet bistro with a private table.
      We had two martinis each and I enjoyed the meal tremendously.
      On the way back to the office, Rick said, 'You know,
      It's such a beautiful day... We don't need to go straight back to the office,
      Do We?' I responded, 'I guess not.
      What do you have in mind?' He said,
      'Let's drop by my place, it's just around the corner.'
      After arriving at his house, Rick turned to me and said,
      If you don't mind, I'm going to step into the bedroom
      for just a moment. I'll be right back.'
      'Ok.' I nervously replied. He went into the bedroom and,
      after a couple of minutes, he came out
      carrying a huge birthday cake ... Followed
      by my husband my kids, and dozens of my friends
      and co-workers, all singing 'Happy Birthday'.
      And I just sat there....
      On the couch....
