I may have to turn in my 'Old Guy' membership card - for long ago giving up on the 'immaculate workbench'. Oh, I still fix it right the first time, and I am religious about putting stuff away - but almost forty years of (five) kids in the home means I must search 90 minutes or more for even common tools.
"Sorry, Dad - I've had that Torx driver (for 'security' screws) in the back of my truck for more than year . . . you never use it". (It never ocurs to them that I can't use it if I can't find it.
Of course, now I'm quite accomplished at drilling out 'security' screws on things with no user-serviceable parts inside'.

Ed,
ReplyDeleteYou're in Texas now. Pressed Wranglers and a long sleeve button down shirt, Boots and a Stetson ARE a suit!
Juvat,
ReplyDeleteLucchese and Stetson 20X! Pearl snaps, not button-down.
Ed,
ReplyDeleteYou're good to go! All "suited" up.
And this is why we love you Ed.
ReplyDeleteThere's a great song about a Pearl Snap Shirt. LOVE THEM. Trooper looks his finest in them, too.
ReplyDeleteLucchese, now - those aren't "work" boots. Maybe "writing" boots, though. ;)
