RE: Postcards from Thailand #38: I Have Nothing.

in Actifit10 months ago (edited)

Hahaha..comment of the week! From one ADD vet to another, I've spent my life screwing myself! But not this time. With it being cheap pine, or termite banquet as it's known here, I could almost push the screws home by hand and anyway, I have you to thank for the new drill. In a comment once, you told me to ' get your tools and gear together for the job and just do it', which was correct advice and almost starting again from nothing, have been building my toolkit up again. When the wife queried why I was buying a $200 drill, I simply told her that you said I should.
"Ahh", she said. "If the luckiest man in the world said so, then that's OK".
Now I keep showing her photos of Atlas, but that's a slightly harder sell!
'The World According to DanDays' would make a great title for a book if someone actually got a book finished ;-)

Sort:  

I'm plenty comfortable in my own skin to say that's one of the nicest things I've ever read to me.

Thanks man. Really.

And then you did it again. I promise you right here on this chain the same I've promised myself and Pura; when I get my hand back, I'll never take it for granted again.

Writing, drawing, typing, nothing, even this I have to talk to text. No hammering of drilling for me. Frustrating. Lotta F words actually. Haven't had it since February. The right one—dominant one. If I'm repeating myself just tell me shut up.


Good call with DeWalt. $200? Did you get the drill/hammer drill combo? There's quite a few to choose from but the DeWalts always seem to outlast the others and they can take a helluva beating compared to the others.

A 12 inch drop for Makita is like 12 feet for DeWalt. = }

"If the luckiest man in the world said so, then that's OK".

I virtually blushed all over the place.
