I'm thinking of kidnapping Bubba's wife!

Bubba, does she have a sister?

He's keeping her as a spare.

My postman must be reading mine, too.  Got my Fine Woodworking, Wood and Woodsmith all this week plus another DVD from Woodworkers Journal.  Yes, my wife says, can you do this and make this and such change?  When can you get it done?  Oh, BTW, you need to do this and that before you start.  But, she is impressed with the stuff that I have been doing lately.  Got to make a hall mirror and cedar chest for the daugher and a small chair for the daughter, some bookcases for the wife.  Hmmm!  Wonder if I'll have all that done for the Christmas holidays?

Gator read the fine print, somewhere on the page you will either see "to be continued" or "Page 2 of many"

Just got mine!

There I was, smoking a Lucky out front doing the morning dance trying to stave off the "I gotta go" feeling/dance when he drives up and puts not just Handy but Field and Stream in my mail box....along with four bills.

Well, time to make a run to the nursery and buy one or two of them money trees so I can plant it in the backyard.  Dang that woman can spend some serious money!

Bubba, you sure are lucky. If I tell my wife that I'm going to buy a tool, I always hear her favorite word, "AGAIN". That's why I'll just buy one and when she see me using it and ask when did I buy it, I'll  say I bought that a long time ago during the ( whatever holiday ) sale was.

In all honesty I am pretty lucky like that too.  My wife has no problem with me buying tools because she knows she will benefit from it!


This past weekend we went to Lowes to get another sheet of plywood for another picnic table.  While I was getting the wood cut, she went browsing. Low and behold she came back with some Bessey mini clamps.  She said "I know you like Bessey clamps - I thought these were cute - you want them?"   Duh!  Clamps!  You can NEVER have too many clamps - mini or not!

                       2 of each!

 

 

Thanks, guys, I keep the refigerator stocked with HER favorite beer, and the wine rack never runs out of Merlot.

My copy of Handy magazine appeared today with a hand load of political ads.  They ended up in the recyle bin and the wife got first dibs on the new issue of Handy.  It was in good condition and appeared to not be used.  At least, all the print was still there and the pics and advertisements all look good.  Wife is picking out projects as if I needed any more. 

anyone still waiting for the magazine? i'm still waiting

I've only recieved 17 mags since joining the club in 1999, lifer in '01. Have contacted the club several times, I think it's cuz I "snowbird" so much. I've totally given up on getting the mags, as I can see the whole thing here, on the website.
So....no. I'm not still waiting! LOL


eeyore

Jeff, like the tax man, it will come.
(as soon as the postman gets done reading it)

I got mine the other day, I have mine sent to my P.O. Box in Taylor, (North of you), as I was worried that the "club" would try and subscribe me to all sorts of offers. But that has not happened with HCOA.
A few tool companies had "sold" my address to crap places and I learned my lesson from that.

In April of 2006 I moved and it took about 4 months to get it straightened out BUT They sent me my missing issues
and I didn't miss anything. They will get it all straightened out and I think you will get whatever you're missing soon.
Keep in touch with them and be patient. It will all work out.
