Can't believe my wife!

[soonerbillz]

Bought me a cheap crappy Chinese mini battery powered chain saw trimmer.
 What I really can't believe is how good it actually works.
 What POS did you pick up that surprised you 🤔

I have a Milwaukie version of that, surprised me how well it works!

my dad has a few like that, he loves them. im also glad at 84 yrs old he finally (mostly) stepped away from the gas ones.

cheap garbage i was pleasantly surprised with? aside from that redhead in college.. hm.. i bought a 1/4" drive t-handle and set of bits (cross head and flat) at pep boys maybe 10? years ago for like 5 bucks. I was in a pinch and needed it. turned out the bits, while not labeled as such, were all JIS. they have been fantastic and i use them a LOT.

The fact that your dad at 84 years old is still using power tools is a blessing.
Mine is 80 and after 2 strokes and recently beating prostate cancer he decided to live a more simple life. That simple life is me taking care of things for him lol

agreed, hes awesome. He retired early so he could make sure 'he didn't kick the bucket right after' that was 30 years ago.. he's been pretty bored the past few yrs. I just need to keep him off the roof.      hes in good shape though.

we all have our kryptonite...as far as the redheads... there's been 5, none since about 03 so that's good, i learned my lesson, they would have eventually been the death of me. 3 of them had variants of the name 'Angela' , coincidentally my wifes name (a brunette). 

All I can say is.. I've been very lucky to have the experiences i have had. And glad that some of them are behind me, especially those.

I married a blonde, then a redhead... and ended up with the brunette I should have stuck with when I had the chance in 1989.
