    Thought I would share a picture of another hobby.

     

    Amateur radio. Been doing it over 30 years.

     

     

     

    I am also a Ham Radio guy, sad to say that I had to sell off my equipment when my lady lost her job.

    I like the Craigslist ads that people say they are selling a tool but the picture is an internet picture. Show me the real tool not one from google.

    Yeah, that seems to be the latest trend. I was looking for a router table, and the one pictured was one that was brand new in the box, although not a stock photo.  The ad did NOT mention it was used, and was only about $30 cheaper than new, but $30 off would be a good deal.  Drove 1/2 hour to pick it up, and when I got there, it was beat to to hell, a real piece of trash.

    I am a Bears fan, but since they were out since day 1, I am going with the Cowboys & Pat in the Superbowl, even though I would rather see Greenbay.  

     

    Of course you would say the Cowgirls LOL, your a Bears fan...

     

    ....Incase you don't know, Bears fans are born with a hatred for the Packers HA HA HA

     

    PLEASE NOTE: This post was in a good fun, has a Packers Fan, growing up in Wisconsin - Packer/Bear Rivalry  goes way back, and the games are always a blast to watch.

  14. Bluetooth tools turning maximum overdrive?

    On the part where you asked, could the tool companies record the way the tool was used or abused? Yes, I believe this will be added in the future, the technology is currently available on the cheap. Not saying it would be used in a negative way, but I think it could be used to help improve the tool. Especially things like, which mode was used most often, or which modes were never used.

    Good Day Crew!

     

    Just want to say FUCK YOU 2016!!!

     

    What started out has an AWESOME 2016, gaining the love of the #tiacrew, and being voted has member of the month, and receiving an awesome DeWalt 20v nailer, was an incredible experance.

     

    My Grandson moving back to our town, getting to make all kinds of toys in my workshop, and watching his huge smiles, has he plays with them and him saying “Thank You Pappy”

     

    Being able to add an awesome Laguna 14|12 Bandsaw to the WigWag Workshop, and various other DeWalt tools, to aid in my woodworking.

     

    Gained a ton of inspiration from the crew, with all your project posts. 

     

    The many Tools In Action videos, that provided endless laughs, and enjoyment, Dan and Eric have unique personalities that work so well together.

     

    Then, the endless sadness, losing family members,  I first lost my Uncle, then my sister in law. 

     

    Then, when Sabrena lost her mother, that hit us really hard, has she was the kids only Grandparent they knew, and Sabrena was really close to her.

     

    Although, I am blessed to have a job and a income, a lot of changes for the worst, has been going on, the last 6 months of the year.  What was an awesome, and enjoyable work environment, the recent changes in management, this is no longer the case.

     

    And to top is off, I lost my Father, this has hit me really hard, and it took a lot of strength to keep going.

     

    Finally, I want to say a BIG THANK YOU, to the crew, for coming together to help me out during my tough times, especially putting up some tools for auction to help me pay some loans I needed to take out, so I could get back home for my fathers funeral. 

     

    So here is a cheers to the crew, and hopefully a brighter 2017! 

     

    HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

     

    -Steven
