If you guys want the total tool junky experience climb aboard one of the tool trucks that supply the automotive or construction industries.
* No plastic packaging, *Premium tools *Very helpful owner/driver *Lots of fellow tool junkies to commiserate with Guaranteed to have you sleeping outside unless the old lady has a great sense of humor -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Cy Selfridge Sent: Tuesday, July 31, 2007 2:19 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [Bulk] RE: [BlindHandyMan] I agree Mike, I don't think we have any OTASCO stores here anymore. (sad face) They sure ruined my fun when they started packaging everything in those blamed plastic coffins. (large frownie face) That is why I really like Harbor Freight. Everything is just bare and you can look to your heart's content. I have not dared to visit an Ace Hardware store and we do have a good one here in Tulsa.

We would go looking for a tool or a bush and walk out with van or truck loads of things. I always wanted a tractor, got me a lawn tractor and since I gave the clerk such a hard time, the wife made me drive it around the yard. Yep, just don't pay for me to visit a regular hardware store. I am safe enough in those places where everything is in those silly plastic packages. My first wife and my sister used to leave me in the hardware aisle at K-mart, while they shopped for clothes. They figured I would be happy, then along came those packaging devices, so they started leaving me at home. Now with my current wife, she can help me figure out what's in them and so far, she hasn't figured out that she is enabling my habit, lol! See you at OTASCO! ----- Original Message ----- From: Cy Selfridge To: HYPERLINK "mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com"[EMAIL PROTECTED] groups.-com Sent: Tuesday, July 31, 2007 11:13 AM Subject: [Bulk] RE: [BlindHandyMan] I agree Mike, My friend, you are truly one of my Soul mates. (LOL) As for visiting a tool place such as Harbor Freight or the like, I rarely come out with what I went in for. We have an awful store here in Oklahoma, Big Lots. It is the typical end lots and close out item store but they sure do have some great buys on various gizmos and tool kits. One of the most dangerous places here in Tulsa is a place called Academy Sports. Sounds innocent, right? Well, not so! They have an excellent collection of cast iron cooking goodies as well as some really great buys on utensils and a really enticing bunch of smokers. My wife keeps the doors firmly locked when we pass the store. (LOL) I am no longer permitted to visit such places as The Big Tool Box. I have discovered that Southerland Lumber has some very good buys on power tools and I can sneak by those isles while looking for such things as lumber and carpet. It is getting harder and harder to do these things as my fairly new bride is getting smarter and smarter. (LOL) She is catching on faster than I thought she would. (frowney face) Take care all, Cy the (tool poor) Ancient Okie... _____ From: HYPERLINK "mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com"[EMAIL PROTECTED] groups.-com [mailto:HYPERLINK "mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com"[EMAIL PROTECTED] groups.-com] On Behalf Of Mike Rusk Sent: Tuesday, July 31, 2007 3:46 PM To: HYPERLINK "mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com"[EMAIL PROTECTED] groups.-com Subject: [BlindHandyMan] I agree One of the first things I noticed about this list, I want things others talk about, so I have my wish list sitting close by and then I try and find ways to justify the need for such animals. Then along comes a person and sends links to places that people like me shouldn't visit and I have more to add to my list. Funny thing, I have a hard time going to any tool place in person and walking away with just the item I went there to get. I believe I must be a tooloholic, smile! Thanks you guys for contributing to the delinquency of a innocent little tool collector. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] No virus found in this incoming message.
