Yes, thank you.  Nobody should ever yearn that things need to be fair.
However, we can choose to look out for each other a bit.  Each can
never claim somebody owes me something.  Be Responsible seems good.

I was born in England during the Second World War and the rationing after was 
tight.

So the "Olde New England Saw - Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do 
without" is how we did things day-to-day.

Be thankful for what you have, many have much less and some have nothing.

YMMV

Fred.

Shall we raise our awareness more and again?
Really - Chinese is okay?
Less than MSRP is okay?
Yep - we *are* the problem.
Shall we count the problems?
Olde New England Saw - Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without.
Not totally appropriate but pertinent.

Dewalt? They're making some good press with that 60v stuff. They've even got a 
tablesaw thats supposed to be pretty good.
Good job bargaining it, to get it for less than have of MSRP is very impressive!

ATTABOY, Wilton!  We live by the idea of “everything is negotiable!”

FWIW, if you have a Lowe’s credit card you get an automatic 5% off anything you 
buy with it, or 6 months same as cash depending on the amount. I can’t count 
the things we’ve bought from Lowe’s and let them carry the paper for six months 
or more…

Leaf blowers work great for clearing dry snow.  Used to use an electric one to 
clear the walks when we lived in Wisconsin.  Far easier and quicker than 
swinging a shovel.
