Tool talk

[retiredTxfeeder]

I was watching Jeopardy! a couple of weeks. (retired folk can watch daytime tv. lol) It was the college addition. Probably the smartest kids around. The category was wrenches.

None of the 3 kids knew what a crescent wrench was.

That's why I don't heat my house with wood even though I have enough property to have a free endless supply. I just can't convince the wife that cutting, hauling and splitting wood is womens work.

I had the girls carrying it to the truck and stacking it last time out.

That 031 I just bought fired right up today. I'll probably put the 16" bar on it if I can and buy a 20" for the 034.

A roller tip Oregon with a 72 chain will work nicely.

Sad and funny at the same time.

I saw a Jeopardy show last year where the answer was John, Paul, George and Ringo----no one could answer

I just remembered--it wasn't Jeopardy and it wasn't last year. It was Jay Leno interviewing young people on the street and it was a few years ago-------carry on.

I can still usually come up with the right answer but sometimes my brain starts smoking just before I do.

That's because it's an adjustable wrench....

Looks like all cedar. Can you burn that in a fireplace?

It's for fence posts

Crescent is a commonly used generic term for this category of wrenchs.

Yes but would it be the correct answer on a game show...

I'm a 33 yr old youngin and I could have answered that.
These parents my age and a bit older aren't pushing the knowledge on the babies

That's what I did! As a kid, I grew up stacking wood. I come from a family with 4 children and we pretty much had an assembly line. And when we were done we got candy or something. I was glad when my parents stopped using the fireplace tho. The work wasn't too hard, I was just embarrassed to smell kinda like a bonfire in public.- pretty sure my dad didn't clean out the chimney properly, because smoke backed up in house all the time.

I have all sorts of specialty tools you guys probably wouldn't recognize.

We always accused our old mechanic of having nothing but a ballpeen hammer, a cold chisel and a roll of duct tape.
