    Tools Forum?

    I think that a tool forum would be an excellent idea! I also like the idea of including workbenches with it! I think it could be a popular forum.

    Good morning America, how are ya? Riley is improving a little. Still running a slight fever but he's eating and drinking better, so we'll take every little bit we can. I'll take an order of what Willie is having. I agree about the tractors, not so much the planes, though. Good idea about...

    Good morning America, how are ya? This is going to be quick, as I (my wife, too) are busier than the well known cat in a litter box! :) I haven't quit this forum, but life is coming at us fast and I just don't have much free time right now. It looks like this will continue for about another...

    Good morning America, how are ya? Got back from Illinois and got the U-haul truck unloaded and returned yesterday, then mowed the yard. My I-phone said I had walked six miles yesterday. I believe it. The truck was packed with mostly my woodworking tools, as well as mechanics tools, my welder...

    Trailrider, I know exactly what you mean about remembering something from your childhood when really young. I have several memories from when I was very young and they are just as vivid as if they happened yesterday! They are very special and I hope they never fade!
