firefighter4187 Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 Finally a nice long break from spreading mulch!! My family and I are heading to greensboro north carolina then new york city( never been there). My grandfather passed away a couple of months ago and my grandmother is going to give me some of his tools, including possibly one of those 300 peice master socket set from kobalt! Conductor, if I ever come to west Virginia I will have to make a visit!! You need to come down if you are in Jacksonville! or Harold is I am ever in San Jose I will have to look you up!, I will be pretty excited because when I get back I will have a new tool box on My doorstep......I know I just got a new one....its a long story but in the ned I made money and got the same box except for 16in deep vs. 11in, gives me a lot more room!

Conductor562 Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 I go to Jax 3 or 4 times a year. Maybe we can hook up for dinner or something next time I'm down. NYC is awesome! I'm the country type, but New York is a fun trip. The Empire State Building, Statue of Liberty, Times Square, and Grand Central Station are all impressive. Don't waste your time going to the "Top of the Rock". It's a shittier view than the ESB and cost like $35 or $40. You can get a card called a New York Pass at all the hotels that will save you a lot of money if you plan on doing a lot of things. Oh, if you go to the ESB don't waste your time doing the Sky Coaster thing. It's a simulator that lasts like 5 minutes and costs like $25 a person.Let us know about the tools Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 Have some fun on the Trip Chase it sounds much better than spreading mulch I helped a friend do that it sucked ass. Anyhow wave to to the Statue of Liberty for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Wray Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 New York sounds great! Never been there. If you see Donal Trump on the street, go up to him and say "Your Fired". Heard he loves that. Yes, let me know if you ever come to San Jose (bay area/silicon valley). Exciting/expensive/innovative/boring all wrapped into one. I love it.

wayneburgess Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Hi Chase,If you do see Donald Trump ( the last name means a fart over here by the way LOL ) tell him that comb over looks stupid, his golf course sucks and he is about as popular over here as a rattle snake in a lucky dip bag. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firefighter4187 Posted July 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Update: I will be home tomorrow, I will have 3 videos to do so you guys can look forward to that, At my grandmothers I organized his workshop, pics to come and mowed the lawn, in return she gave me my grandfathers Kobalt 300 somethin piece socket set, Skil bench grinder, both basically brand new, and some other neat hand tools, I am really happy and will soon have a almost complete socket set, I am also going to build a small workbench for the grinder. New york city was good but there are to many dumb asses there...much rather be back in my small town then there, I was happy to see when we were walking out of the the subway, the were installing a new escalator and saw a V28 hammer drill driver in action!

Conductor562 Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 I have an 8" Ryobi. It's a nice grinder for the money, just wish I could dial it down when I use a wire wheel on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeth Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Variable speed on a grinder is as rare as an alien drinking Margarita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
