Yep, nothing but time.

Yep, right up until the time you get a cancer diagnosis with a five year survivability rate of less than 50%.

Well, feel pretty good today. A little sore, but ok.

Love my new M12 wrench.

The new show is more of an ensemble cast than just a two-person show, but I think that will lend some additional interest to it. In addition, it has some threads that will continue between shows rather than being more episodic. While the leap teaser is still there at the end of each, there is some back story they'll get to carry between episodes.

The pilot episode was decent but it does feel like a pilot episode (even though I understand it's actually the second pilot, and the first pilot is being used as the 6th episode).

Set my Tivo to record it here on out.

One of my favorite power tools. The 12v impact ratchet is pretty good too.

I also have the 1/4 and 3/8 rachets. Love them. I have like 10 m12 tools and have had really good luck with them.

I'm way behind the times. Was shocked when the repair guy came out to correct some overlooked problems with my new lawn tractor. He used a small battery powered 3/8 drive ratchet. I honestly had never seen one or even thought about if they existed. Guess I need to visit a Snap-On dealer to see how things have changed since my last vist, some two decades ago.

My race box. I can't get at my roller cabinet to get a good photo.

That looks like my old race box when I rode MX.

I have an early Snap-On cordless impact. Nicad, 12V, only good for like 30ft-lbs, also had to trade a kidney for it. When companies like Dewalt came out with cordless impacts it really changed the game. The only reason to buy Snap-On or Mac now is if the truck shows up to your workplace. The cordless tools you can get at your local box store are pretty good anymore.

snapon is only good if there's someone to brag to.

anyone that does work with the tools anymore generally reaches for dewalt or milwaukee.

i'm not posting my milwaukee stuff. the total cost would make a snapon rep drool.
