OT: Heads Up, JawHorse Half Price

I still shop Lowes first, just because when my son was in cub scouts, they donated paint for our new pinewood derby track. It's been 10 years ago, but the loyalty has stuck. I built the trip lite sensor to detect the winner of the three tracks. Worked great saved some arguments and rematches. btw, I did buy some 4" x 36" sanding belts at Home Depot for $5.97 vs $11.00 at Sears and Lowes. The are Diablo brand, I used them, so far, I think I like them better than the Sears brand. I don't know why the they were marked low, all the other, smaller belts were more then the larger size. I half expected to get to the cash register and find they were $11.

Went into Lowe's today to get a work light and spotted this...

Half price... I paid full price ~3 years ago :-(

One of the most useful devices I've ever bought.

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.

Why do you insist on posting crap, very regularly on the newsgroups. Do you have nothing better to do? I am so sick of all your posts!

Why don't you put your head in that vice and get someone to tighten it up, it would do us all a favour.

I wonder why people read things they're not interested in, and then complain. Mikek

I have no idea. Shaun apparently showed his true self some time ago, because he was automatically kill-filed. Probably some dick-head who subscribes to the "math and simulation are crutches" theory of engineering, but can't even do a proper solder joint. Besides he can't properly spell favor ;-) ...Jim Thompson

uh, that's the king's English version, but still, seems rather bad behaviour for someone raised in that genre.

Jim, it seems like you and John could get along a little better, and stop making little digs at each other. He has a fine company that builds some very complicated instruments. As I understand it, you design IC circuits, that also is a very complicated device. In your case I would think a simulator is so much more important because you have a tougher time building a prototype. In either case, I don't see how math is a crutch. John behave! Jim behave! Have a nice day, Mikek

Well we don't believe in kings here, kings can change laws by decree and, ah well, never mind. Sorry, I was thinking we didn't have a king. Mikek

I have offered the olive branch multiple times, stood back quietly, and ultimately got stabbed again by the shit-head. ...Jim Thompson

I'm of Scot ancestry... we have a special "relationship" with the "king" >:-} ...Jim Thompson

John, Jim is offering an olive branch in a crouched sort of way. Will you agree to play nice and have cookies and milk with Jim? We can agree to work on Jim's name calling later. Mikek

Cookies and milk ?

I'd prefer Crab Cakes and Wine (*) myself ;-)

(*) Like a nice Pinot Gris ? ...Jim Thompson

No true Scotsman ever forgets that Edi Aman was the last King of Scotland. ;) After the United Kingdom broke off all diplomatic relations with his regime in 1977, Amin declared he had defeated the British and conferred on himself the decoration of CBE (Conqueror of the British Empire). His full self-bestowed title ultimately became: "His Excellency, President for Life, Field Marshal Al Hadji Doctor Idi Amin Dada, VC, DSO, MC, Lord of All the Beasts of the Earth and Fishes of the Seas and Conqueror of the British Empire in Africa in General and Uganda in Particular", in addition to his officially stated claim of being the uncrowned King of Scotland.

You either caught a sale or a mismark. Diablo is a good brand.

?-)

And all you use this for is to cross-cut board and plywood??? Seriously, you can get a bag of clamps for $10, learn how to use them.

Here's another heads-up at 1/3 the regular price.

But only $169 at Lowe's...

If I needed a ladder I'd buy one... except I'm trying to figure out where to store my existing ladder assortment in the new house...

In the melee of hanging chandeliers I did buy this...

And I just bought 1', 2' & 3' extensions for my T-Jak ;-)

I was going to buy one but that link doesn't work.

The link works this morning but didn't last night. However it says $189. It must be sensitive to location.
