It’s been really heartbreaking to watch so many folks around here suffering with being laid off this year bc of the coronavirus tho, the hospitality and theme parks have been crushed by this pandemic. We decided to donate some extra $$ this year to the local food banks and toy drives. (I kinda feel like a azzhole bringing that up cause it sounds like I’m bragging about it, but oh well, I wanted to share and maybe some of y’all might do the same and help out as well

).

My fiancee and I usually help with City Union Mission when they deliver Christmas dinner fixings and Christmas presents. We couldn't do it last year because of her knee surgery and we were looking forward to this year.

Oh well, next year will hopefully be better.

Toys for Tots is my go-to every year. It's a lot of fun dropping off a bunch of new toys and talking with some of the 'young' Devils... that have WAY more 'fruit salad' than I ever got.....

Might be cheaper to fix, depending on what let the magic smoke out.

www.appliancepartspro.com is the best source for parts.

I think it's that guy right there. It's not Snap-On, but a hell of a lot better than my flimsy-*** Craftsman stuff. The drawers are really well made and slide nicely, with thick rails. It's certainly heavy. I'll get actual pictures when I've got the old ones unloaded and the new one set in place.

That's a nice box.

Does yours have the pullout table top?

I need a new toolbox myself. I have had stuff overflowing for years. When I turned a wrench for a living I always said the toolbox doesn't make you any money, the right tools do. Oh well, I just have a junky garage with chit everywhere.

Labeling the box???? Nah, I don't think so. Not telling folks where the expensive stuff is to steal.

I'm not in a high crime area, and it'll save me a lot of walking over to show people where tools are when they ask me.

I don't believe so, but I also haven't set it up yet. Saturday's the day.

LOL, I don't let people in my box. That is how things go missing. Only lost one screwdriver. Lent it to a sales guy to remove a tag. Never saw it again.

Hello everyone

Sorry I missed all the name calling yesterday

You're all a bunch of doo-doo heads!!

In other news I made the playoffs in all of my fantasy football leagues. Have a bye in one. Had to win a three-way tiebreaker for 6th place to make the playoffs in another.

Fantasy football.... way more research than I care to do...

I do better with Super Bowl pools when I don't even pay attention to the game.

I don't even use the waiver wire. Routinely forget to set my lineups until 5 min before kickoff at noon on Sundays. But I watch a lot of football so it usually works out for me

I don't do SB pools any more. The person who cares least about football always seems to win.
