I do know a thing-or-two about tools .. in the trade we would say .. The Snap-On Man comes once a week .. so that is one suggestion THAT YOU HAVE ALREADY PUT ON YOUR NEW TO-DO-LIST. Another is that the companies who make literally most things of a semi-complex mechanical manner .. and I would include the pressure washer manufacturer .. often will sell tools that the professional service people who service their products need. Ah-h-h-h when you contact the above (Snap-On or the company) .. put this on your to-do-list .. bring money .. often lots of money.
ReplyDeleteWHAT A FUN POST .. Smiles from Cap and from Patti ..
Sounds like you need my help again. I will be there in July. We are in Walla Walla with Jim and Karen right now.
ReplyDeleteYour list has left me out of breath...glad you finally included a visit with the merganser neighbors! By the way, the litter pickers were out in force in Anchorage this weekend and things look a lot better, but you can still put them to shame any season with the territory YOU cover! Hugs!! Patti
ReplyDeleteI understand the feeling. When I cross one off the top, 2 more appear at the bottom.
ReplyDeleteYour solution is best.... get out on the water and enjoy Mother nature. B & B
