  1. Alan, That is great info. None of the drawers have bearing sliders. They are all friction but move freely with no hitches or anything. None of them are tweeked or anything so it looks like it was well taken care of. All 3 locks match the same key and the 3 keys look original. The boxes were stacked when I took them. I will put them back together after it gets cleaned and de-greased. That will be easier with the top box off. I bet the top alone weighs close to 100 lbs. It is a bear. Thanks again for the info. Very cool that this set may be over 25 years old. Tom
  2. I just scored these Snap-On boxes from Craigs yesterday and I was wondering if anyone has any clue how old they are? The guy was not the original owner and claimed he has had them for over 10 years. From the shop I removed them from it looks like he has had them for at least that long. I was not even in the market for a new tool box set up but for $350, I even drove 60 miles to get them after the guy sent me the pics. These things are heavy. From the Nascar stickers, it looks like they are from the 80's. The top box is KR-550B and the Bottom is KR-555B....You guys seen any like this? I think I did good considering there are not really any dents. Just really dirty.

    New layout.

    I am using FF and the page loading is much slower than before for me as well. The background color change Dan posted is much better....
  4. If that is the toughest decision of your life, you got it made in the shade (with grape kool aid) Tom
  5. Never have to worry about rust. Termites.....That's another story. Tom
  6. Mark, I thought you would be all over BlueOvalZ's car in the classifieds! How many cars do you have now? Tom
  7. No love for the 500R? Great starter bike IMO. First street bike I ever drove. If I was in it for the gas savings only, I would try to pick up a late model 500R for under 3k. Now if you have to have to coolest, best riding, fastest, whatever, maybe it wouldn't do. Tom
  8. I don't mean anything personal towards jeffer. I am just looking at the facts as he posted now and prevoiusly. We have all done crazy things on the roads that we should not have done, although I would hope that most never lost it and took other cars out! Tom
  9. Would you want your family driving down the highway next to jeffer? Your wife? Your kids? Your parents? Say what you want bro, guys that have a history of accidents and then lose it when crossing 3 lanes of traffic on an interstate are going to get flamed. I say "Wow" because it has not happened in this thread up until now. Tom
  10. Hopefully the folks you hit are okay too. I think you need to take it easy and not kill anyone on the highway. Tom (hopefully my comment didn't come off like I am being a d!ck, I'm just saying!)
  11. It starts here when he posts these wheels for sale...This guy screwed around with the wrong "techie". http://www.mbworld.org/forums/showthread.php?t=244457 This is a summary (short version up to this point) http://blog.cyberchun.com/archives/000428.html
  12. The fat girl at the prom is looking better all the time. Tom
  13. If you really want them gone due to kids, pets, etc, get 'Cyper WP'. It has Cypermethrin. You mix the powder with water in any 1-2 gallon sprayer and hit any areas where you think they hang out. It kills them in a few minutes and keeps killing for a few weeks. I found several kinds of powdered cypermethrin online, but none of them would ship to SC (or several other states for some reason I can't remember). Cyper WP is the same or better than other brands but is much cheaper. I found it on ebay and they shipped it to SC no problem. I did the research last summer when my 2.5 year old daughter picked up one of her sand box toys and the biggest black widow I have ever seen fell across her arm and on to the ground. My wife actually had to knock it off of her and wasn't sure at first if it bit my daughter. She called me at work and was so upset (ready to call 911) I had to take the rest of the day off. She put a cup over the top of it because she wasn't sure if it really was a black widow. The rear end of this thing was bigger than a nickel and with legs it was more than 2 inches across. After seeing it, I started looking around and killed about 15-20 within an hour or so. All of them were on egg sacks so I knew that those 15-20 wouldn't even make a dent. After I got the Cyper, I did 3 treatments at double strength in one week (they recommend once every 3 months for spiders). A week after that, I couldn't find one spider, or bug or ant, or anything. I have done 2 treatments this year already. I hate killing all these bugs, but I don't have any choice with small kids. If it wasn't for them, I wouldn't even bother. When they get older and more aware, I will stop spraying. Tom Edit: This stuff will kill fish so if you have a pond or anything like that, beware.....
