And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
As a body repairman/painter in the 70s for 10 years I bought quite a few Snap-On tools and still use them daily. I have been carrying about 3 ratchets and a ratcheting magnetic screwdriver around for a year or more in my travels as a snowbird retiree (MI, TN, AZ mainly) that were malfunctioning. I finally connected with my local dealer to get them replaced. A 1/4" ratchet is $107. A standard size 3/8" ratchet is $117, and a long hinge-handled 3/8" ratchet is $152, and the ratcheting mag screwdriver is $71. Nuts.....
Probably still making weekly payments on it.

Ha!
DeleteThey used to have nudie calendars, too. I haven't seen one in 40 plus years. Every self-respecting shop used to have one on the wall.
ReplyDeleteI still have a copy of what I think is the last year they put them out. Late 80s
DeleteAt the very least it's correct twice a day.
