Morning Ken...

Thanks for alerting me to the fact Tom is a serious author. I didn't know that.. then again there are a lot of things I don't know.

Happy belated Tom.. where were ya when I needed ya 35 years ago?

Thanks guys.
Sarge, 35 years ago I was still trying to figure out why I needed more than a $15 circular saw to remodel the house.

Afternoon Tom...

"Sarge, 35 years ago I was still trying to figure out why I needed more than a $15 circular saw to remodel the house"... Tom
**************

And the truth be told Tom, maybe we really don't. I have seen things get very complicated and fancy over those 35 years when I only had a Shopmate circular saw strapped under a 2 X 4 sheet of ply with a retangular hole cut for the blade and a few hand-tools.

What I haven't seen is a gaint leap in quality of what I produced back then to what I produce now with an accumulation of over $12 K in state of the art tools. Perhaps we are missing something here? ha.. ha... ha..ha..ha..

Well... back to trimming the house. Should be finished late today as I strapped my 3" sash brush onto my circular saw blades with duct tape to speed things up. Leaves a few circular swirls on the facia.. but anybody that gets close enough to notice.. I just shoot em as a tres-passer following the old southern tradition of "you stay on your side of the fence and I'll stay on mine"! he.........

Regards for the afternoon, sir...
