and after 3 days, he is risen!

If you are paying $20 for a haircut, I imagine people assume you did it yourself anyway.

Pocket change cost me my first and only black girlfriend.   It was in the middle of a roaring poker boom and I was flush in ways most men don't even bother dreaming of. Money, it was like dirt to me

I have a cheap set that is fairly similar, and I thought the flashlight was a waste also... but damnit to hell, I use that thing a lot.

I use a flashlight all the time too, but not a $50 one that uses one of my valuable 18v drill batteries.

One thing I do love about my job is all the checklists I get to make and then cross off. So satisfying.

 

Shake, I'm going to take my vacation to come out to you and we're going to **** shit up. We're going to rebuild that ********** of a shanty you call a house. Maybe even build you some new furniture.

yeah the flashlight is stupid. no idea why they force that on you. but I'll probably get some extra batteries so I guess I'll use it. I do love me some flashlights.

 

 

so no info on the kindle fire? it's the hd one.

Yeah, no. Miter saws aren't cordless.

 

And guapo, I won't be buying a pussy miter saw stand, because I'm a man.

 

A man who likes to carry around a 75lb chop saw and get down on his knees to cut things? Manly!

I don't disagree that I had this thought as well, but my set came with 2 extra batteries, and the flashlight sits on a battery and becomes quite sturdy. It's nice to be able to just set it somewhere and adjust the light without having to fumble around with a regular flashlight.

Do you have an ipad? If not, you're going to like it. Plan on keeping it.

 

They are pretty cheap, so you won't get much for it anyway.

hm. nah I don't have any type of tablet so maybe it'll be nice. and since I have both netflix and amazon prime it might actually be pretty sweet.

 

I think I was thrown off at first because I thought it was a regular kindle and fuuuuck reading.

Sal, I agree with the others.... you bought quite a bit of stuff youll never use....

 

 

 

 

That being said

 

 

 

 

As usual I come along and also disagree with them as well. Ive witnessed two cordless miter/chop saws in my life. The last one I spied, pretty sure it was a kita. Although it was being used in the convention center during a build out for a show, so it could have been a prototype or something

 

 

 

The first one was a doozy. At the time, I was around twenty something and plumbing a four story near mansion. The architect found someone from oregon that hand laminated staircase. Did the most awesome work Ive ever witnessed. Anyway, one evening after I conned a crane operator into lifting a cast iron tub to the top floor I heard the distinct sound of a two stroke engine running inside the house. Think weedeater

 

 

 

Guy had a gas powered sawzall and miter box. Damdest things you ever saw. I cant remember who made the things but they were store bought somewhere. I think Montana. Anyway, the sawzall was nothing more than a chainsaw with a sawzall front on it. Pretty impressive though. The chop saw was belt driven similar to a drill press. You could change the speed of the blade by changing the belts. Said it was the best way to cut certain woods and stuff

 

 

 

All I know for a fact is, I liked it when he fired them up cause it gave me a good excuse to leave... and by the end of the project I was mentioned in a magazine article. Not for plumbing the house, but for my.....jokingly offering to build a giant set of windchimes out of one to three inch copper to hang from the upstairs balcony. I spent many beers tuning each one to the "proper" note by cutting and changing the "clacker"

 

 

 

In the end, the guy moved and never heard from him again. The chimes were decommissioned after neighbors a mile away threatened a lynch mob

 

 

 

 

...and I got my real name in a magazine as the designer/builder of a wicked set of chimes. Much better than that phoney penthouse letters that always changed my story and stuff

Yeah you'll be far too busy not sawing and drilling to read anything.

Then Loogie is a liar. Not a surprise, since that's what he does for a living.

I just looked up the specs on the 12" dewalt and it's 57lbs. So im dyslexic. My shop is about 400 feet from my house. So carrying that thing sucks, or putting it on a truck or trailer to drive it up is a pain and seems like over kill. Hell I eve put in a wheel barrow before. The stand is awsome. Moves easy. Flips up in a second and it has extender arms for balance which is great when you are cutting a 16" peice of trim or baseboard.

DAH DAH DAH

 

I picture Strat realizing he may be caught in a lie because he forgot Loogie and Mojo were Facebook buddies. Not that I think Strat is lying

 

Loogie was probably effing with us. GOOD ONE LOOGIE

That's sexy.

 

Still, cordless drill makes sense because you're moving it around all the time and the cord gets in the way. Cordless chopsaw, not so much - you move it on average once a day, max.

 

It was only 7.5" also. haha. What a worthless pos.
