Should I stay or should I go?
#1

Wife's grandfather wants to give me a bunch of industrial grade tools. Planer/bandsaw/tablesaw/joiner....etc. He's getting too old to use'um anymore and everybody else either doesn't do that kinda shit or don't take good enough care of their stuff. They are in town visiting and approached me sunday and said he wanted me to have the stuff. I was alittle confused, but This means I have to drive to Atlanta and back in a weekends time. Discuss:

dood retired from the city (was a maintance superviser) and were talking industrial floor model shit. maybe 10-15 years old. And knowing him they are in like new condition. Old mans a real stickler for keeping things up.

Take the trip.

I know what you're thinking now. You think we're all gay, don't you? Think we're all just a bunch of deviant lifestyle-living same-sex having motherfuckers, am I right?

Fucking get them. I would kill to have that stuff. Absolutely get them. I bought an industrial grade lathe and to get the lathe, the basic tools and stuff was nearly $1,000.

Don't pass this up. Those things are valuable and you will love working with them.

last time I was there, you could eat off of his work bench. Dood's just that way. Downfall is having to rent a U-haul trailer to get the stuff home.

Rent the goddamn trailer. Hell, just call a moving company and hire them to go get them and move them. Probably wouldn't cost that much more. And they pack it all up.

Yeah, I got a little bench mounted band saw, not a floor stand. It is really a piece of shit. One thing about tools like that, it is better to just not get anything than to get the cheap stuff.

He had every intention of going from the beginining, he just wanted the rest of us to jones over the shit.

that's won't happen. Mrs Bill wants to tag along to spend time with her grandparents.

if she wants to tag along, leave her down there for a week or two.

hmmm... so essentially:

if you go, there will be trouble.

And if you stay, there will be double?
