Two pairs of Blue Jeans, a pair of sweat pants, and Star Trek into Darkness on DVD.

A 2l bottle each of barr brand shandy, the same their cheap cola; as well as a chinese takeout bought for me courtesy of my old man.

And getting another few free bits and pieces from him for some reason, pair of new shoes and some spare electrical fuses  the 'blade' type ones to go in one of my power supplies after I tripped the original one by drawing too much current (or trying to) whilst subjecting a bath of molten, anhydrous caustic soda to electrolysis.

So he is helping me make a far more respectable one that can put out some serious juice. Thankfully the one that sustained the overload was protected and no damage done,
Beyond the pale. Way, way beyond the pale.

I don't even know at least 15,  there are 5 in the trailer alone each tools or items for different jobs each  color coded.  I also tend to make up small kits of basic tools to leave places I use them most so they are always there when needed, then bring more job specific kits as needed.  I also use those canvas tool bags a lot to carry tools I am using at the time around the houses I am working on

I'm not really spending any money at the moment. I'm trying to save all of it for food, we don't need any end of the month drama like last time. :blonde:

  I remember end of the month drama from my younger years.  It's good to avoid it.  8)

A delightful life-sized hand puppet of a Norwich Terrier, wine vinegar, steel cut oats, a set of measuring spoons (sizes drop, smidgeon, pinch, dash and tad), and a heavy duty seamstress 8 inch scissors.  From my late next-door neighbor's estate sale.

  Your neighbor clearly had a love of the whimsical.  :laugh:

I bought two pairs of shoes right now, for $10.48 a piece. I want to say they are a rustic house shoe. not really ment for outside use because they almost look like water would do some serious damage to them. :blonde:

I would also like to add that they are the same color as the baby giraffe in my avatar. :heart:

  In other words, slippers.  :P

Do you guys and girls think its weird I hardly touch tools? 
Because. I don't really,  :zoinks:

  Sometimes you may have a valid reason to touch a tool   :fixin:   but be sure to wash your hands afterward!

It does cost money, to bring them, though. Sports can be pretty expensive.
I can do upside down chocolate moo things!
