Tool talk

[BlackFriday]

I have a hardware store of fasteners all in boxes in a proper file cabinet style set of drawers. I made a huge purchase when I had a business and wrote it off. I VERY rarely need to go out and get a screw, bolt, washer, nut etc but, when I do I get a box and not just what I need at the moment. Such as time and agrivation saver.

So when a screw falls out of your head, you’re good.

Believe me, I understand.
Credit issued.
My wife leaves lights on ALL THE TIME. She says they don't use much electricity and I agree BUT she isn't the one who has to buy them and change them. We have a ton of recessed ceiling fixtures 9' high. It's a PIA.

A light bulb?

The whole fixture, the newly installed conduit, its switch, and the wire I pulled and junctioned into an existing circuit on a subpanel that I installed and ran the wire for in that garage four years ago.

Why the hell so much? Some proprietary fastener size or some bull?

Just extra bling if you can afford the car.

Who would name a car a "Speedtail"? Dumb

It's surprising the speed at which you get tail. That's why.

Solid gold.

Likely anodizing. Apparently made of some kind of special titanium that's lighter than regular titanium. (Still hardly warranting the price though.)

I figured they wanted a softer metal so they don't scratch the paint or chrome. The only way that set could be worth 34k is if it was solid gold.
