Hmmmmmmmmm

I was looking at my post history and as of the 12th I had 13 posts, so today being the 13th this will be my 14th post, thus avoiding the double whammy of 13 posts on the 13th day. Thank the stars today is not a Friday.
I was watching some of the hearings on Sotomayer today, boy are they going to have to shovel that place out when they are done. She has started the double speak already. Yea I might have said that but even if I meant it, I wont do it at least not until I get the job and then you are stuck with me.
No she did not say that, it is my translation.

tools etc

I am still trying to get control of my garage. In this process I am going through my tools and finding some astounding information. I have at least 6 pipe wrenches and maybe more. Of course they are of various sizes that is not counting the ones I have given to others.

I think I may have bought one many years ago. The rest I have acquired through the years. I found at least one in a home we bought, It was a huge sucker, with a 24” handle. I have used it more than once and the size was what I needed at the time.
My main question is how many pipe wrenches does one need. I know a plumber may need 12 or 15, but a home owner needs 2 tops. What am I to do with the 45 metal files of various sizes and the 15 or so vice grip style wrenches.

I have somehow acquired 3 hatchets, I might have bought one in our camping days. I have a small coffee can full of punches, metal chisels and nail sets. I threw away about 10 pounds of rusty, worn and mixed up nails, screw, washers and bolts, which leaves me with about 50 -75 pounds of the same in 10 assorted cabinets, thats not counting the jars, milk jug and coffee cans of the same. I did give 6 or 8 cabinets full of the above to my kids.

Hammers, I have a herd of those also in various sizes weights and configurations.

Screw drivers are like hangars, they multiply in the deep dark recesses of a tool box, and even in the light of a screw driver holder. But screw drivers are somewhat malicious, If they find out you need a certain kind or size, they become scarce.

I need a nice tool box to store all these tools. But I have a choice, I can buy a kick butt tool box or for the same price a 1988 van. I think the van will hold more tools, but not be as organized.

Speaking of tool boxes, I do have 4 or so portable boxes all kinda small, most are rusty and the closing thingies don't work so good and you can not stack them either.

If I loaded all this up and took it to a recycle center, I might get $25.00 bucks for the whole mess. I guess I will keep it, Who knows I might need to use one of my 5 wire strippers.
