    Back From Indiana

    Went up to Indianapolis to visit the in-laws. The highlights of the trip were I got an invite from the Rockler mgr to come back to the store when we go back in December and I get to play with the Festool tools he has. I told him I wouldn't be buying anything and he just said after I use 'em I will someday.

    Other highlight was on 465 around the city 15 minutes out on the trip up some dipchit threw something off an overpass Wednesday night. Caught the roof just where it meets the windshield. No visibible damage but I'm still pissed.

    They have cities in Indiana? I thought there were only cornfields there. With the occasional space for a basketball court.

      The glass is half full, not half empty...fatalities this time of year from overpass-launched missiles have been on the rise for the last decade, including a couple caused by "harmless" pumpkins.

          Oh I fully appreciate it could have been a lot worse but that doesn't mean I don't want to punch the person what did it in the nose.
