So an AWESOME friend of mine HOOKED ME UP!!!!

[popo8]

So a good friend of mine ran into some legal toubles and (to make a long story short) made a deal with his local LE to move out of the area rather than be charged with a crime that would land him in jail (AGAIN).

He called me and said "hey Larry, Im moving to Cali this weekend, bring your trailer and come to the house, i have something for you"

As he asked, without asking a question, I did just that....

Upon my arrival, he says, Help me load up my tool box... I said, WHY?, he says because it is now yours.........

Its not perfect, but its full and its mine... I know pics of tools are boreing, but I wanted to post it up to give props to my friend DALE BROWN....

Well here we go... the tool box was very full, and very disorganized, and dirty.... so I began by emptying EVERYTHING onto the garage floor....

Its funny... because we are realy the opposite ends of the legal spectrum.....

I remember a few years ago, his wife called me and said, "DALE is locked up".....

I called the Sheriffs Dept, and found out when he would see the judge and went and picked him up..... he was released in the County Orange Jump suit, and missed the transport bus back to the prison for his clothes.... he was sitting outside the courthouse smoking a bummed cigarette with no one to pick him up and not a penny on him for a ride. Then POPO rolled up... I guess its kinda ironic when an off duty cop is there for a guy who every cop thinks is a bad guy..... Sometimes you gotta look through the smoke and see why the person is in the situation they are in.......

[SexyTransAm]

holy shit tell him to call me next time

I know... Ive been pricing getting a box for my home. The box I wanted (I know I wanted something PIMP) was 8g EMPTY!!!!

There has got to be 10g alone in box and tools here!

I consider myself very lucky and just a reminder to look beneath the surface and take care of those that deserve it..... and even tho its not why you do it....it may just pay off someday..


time to go air compressor shopping!

[TA the destroyer]

damm 8gs! your tryin to go all out, i had to piece together my tools over the years and still dont have all that i need.

you know you hang at a garage where tools are everything, and you start to get big ideas and thoughts of how BIGGER is better...

Im sooooooo happy with my "new" simple craftsman toolbox, Im gonna put the money I was saving for tools into a shed, riding mower, air compressor and a small lift!!!!!

[TA the destroyer]

ya a lift would be sweet and life would be soo much better!
