[V8] Cat pissed in the toolbox......

[diemarthadie at aol.com]

 I'd be having a chat with the neighbor and showing him which tools could be used to restring your tennis racket...


 
I have a handful of grandpa's wrenches myself.? Just the odd ones, that curve or have weird shapes, most are not marked.? I got some of his better tools when he was preparing to sell the house many many years ago.? One of the ones that I find really interesting is a very old green wood handled miter-type saw from Hammacher-Schlemmer in NY.? They advertise themselves as 150 years in the biz, but this would be from back when they were still a fine hardware store and not a tech-toy wonderland.? I probably should find out what it's worth but it does a great job on Christmas tree trunks...

Yes, the neighbor cat snuck into the garage today and unloaded what  
appeared to be a full bladder into my "big" box full of everything  
that isn't a socket.....I assumed I'd spilled something in there till  
I stuck my hand in to find a wrench, and realized the issue....on a  
positive note, I sterilized everything that was metal,pitching  
everything else including box. Some of the wrenches which are  
grandpa's/british/wierd etc.....are cleaner than ever......Thinking  
of bringing the whole lot tomorrow to my machinest friend's new  
ultrasonic cleaning bath, and do the "ultra cleaning".....It was fun  
to look thru the box, as many of them I never see/use and found a  
couple that are old and have no markings at all on them at all.  Tom
