Multi Gloat

[Kevin Gerstenecker]

The past couple of weeks have just about trashed the tool budget for the year. Well, to be honest, according to the LOML, it HAS trashed the tool budget for the year! :D I am uprgrading my DC Unit in my shop to a 2 HP Oneida Cyclone. For what it is worth, the LOML MADE me get this DC Unit..............darn the luck! ;) I also received my Trend Airshield this week, and I look forward to giving that a workout when I get my shop back in shape. (I have the shop in disarray so I can install the Cyclone.) To top that off, I found out that my 2002 Ranger SC was just not enough truck for me, so I traded it today for a 2004 F-150 SC. After the deal they struck with the year-end incentives, and the HIGH trade they offered for my Ranger, I just couldn't pass up the deal. All in all, been a pretty good weekend for me, and we still have one day to go...............AND, I am on vacation next week, so I will have plenty of time to get the shop in shape and get to some much missed turning! It is nice to have a very understanding and supportive Wife............sometimes! ;)

[Kevin Gerstenecker]

Careful what ya ask for Dennis....................I have some half logs of Elm that are HUGE! If ya want a couple, I will have room for them now! :rolleyes: Don't worry, I have you all lined up for some turning blanks.

Kevin:

Awesome !!! I see you went with the 35 gallon fiber drum and it appears it is for a basement shop. I am anxious to hear about the Setup and Configuration of the Oneida. Now that you have gloated you have to provide the details ;) :D

[Tyler Howell]

That's gotta be a hat trick or the tri-fecta. Great score all around Kevin. ;)

I just bought the same truck( including color yeeks :D ) Ford has a promotion with Milwaukee tools . I was entitled to $500 gift cert. Go to milwaukee's web site Ithink there is more info or call the dealer and ask.
You could also pick Omaha Steaks $500 or $500 at CABELA'S if that interest you more than tools.

Kevin, congrats on the news toys. The dust collection system should keep the old shop clean and I really like your new truck. I'm going shopping for a new truck this comming week and I'm leaning toward the Ford f150 4X4. Nice gloats and it appears you have a very understanding wife. have fun with the new toys and enjoy your vaccation.
