About a month ago I gave an Aquarium and some fish to my Son's best friend and his family. I did not expect anything in return, I wanted the tank and fish gone so I could get bigger one. He gave me a Ryobi AP10 planer. It was in pretty bad shape, it ran but needed work. I tore it apart and cleaned it up and as I did so I came up with $150 of parts that needed to be replaced. So I put it off because of other thing and then got sick.
This morning at 3 am while going through a coughing fit and waiting for the Codeine Cough meds to kick in I got on craigslist for Sacramento and did a search on planer up poppd a New Ridgid TP1300LS planer for $200 found out it was less that 6 blocks from my house, got a hold of the person and made arrangements too see it an 11am at 11:10 am it was in my shop. The gals boyfriend cheated on her and this was his birtday present. So now I have a new 13" planer with all the goodies. I have been grinning ever sence. Will not use it untill I get over this cold/flu. As for the Ryobi I will reassemble it wrap it in plastic and put it away and maybe fix it at a later date and give it back to my son's friend. Sorry this is so long but the whole stroy had to be told. Some time you do get paid back for doing somthing nice, I felt ok with the Ryobi and fixing it but this is a better deal.
