You have nothing to complain about.....LOL The last 10" Mill Barstard File I bought was $35 It was a Crescent though. I know I'm Not comparing Apples with Apples, But ; The last Delco Remy 39MT starter I bought was $450 2 Quote "Be who you are and say what you feel...Because those that matter...don't mind...And those that mind....don't matter." - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope a few years old than that, not that it matters, once your body decides enough is enough, it doesn't care about the calendar I didn't plan on stopping this early but sometimes you have to go with the flow. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I talked to a man today who said his wife was going to get the arthritis "scraped from her hands" because she couldn't open her hands completely. I didn't even know they could do that, but mine are the opposite - I don't have any problem opening my hands, but I can't close either one into a fist, not even close. That's why I've dropped so many cameras. 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I site I worked on a few years ago, one the blokes started "Team Sun Screen" For the blokes 50 plus We had TSS written on our hard hats with our age under it lol Gave everyone a good laugh and I wasn't to surprised to see the numbers each day that the older blokes were running rings around the young buck's Less time on our phones and more time working I think is all it was Paul 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
