Fixed 21 corded tools for a local Pawnshop.   He provided the cords, some box deal.  Agreed on $10 each.  He shows up to pick them up and now wants to inquire about swapping for store credit.  Hmm, negative, I have seen his prices for anything I wanted.  Can find cheaper by 40% online and new.  Got my cash and was happy.   He calls back an hour later inquiring about looking at 3 benchtop drill presses he has that don't turn on and a couple of brackets he would like welded up.

 

Guess I will be busy one evening next week looking over that mess.

 

So far the welder I bought from Northern for $188, plus wire, helmet, couple tools and such I was out $300.  So far I've made $1200 on nothing but odd brackets an few lawn mowers. Good investment so far.

store credit?  make it $25/item fixed and we can talk.

Once saw a fellow carrying around a Bong that sized....back when they had Riots at Indian Lake....

Hope you are feeling better soon Dave. Be careful, those donuts can go right to your hips!

Got the grass cut yesterday, after that I had to change the original battery in Patti's car, and its only 10 years old. $259.00 & a three-year warranty on new. And for the non-mechanic let's give him this . Challenge accepted and completed.

Thanks Bob. At least I never have to get up during the night to go to the bathroom.

I figure as long as I consume the each center of each donut things should balance out.
