Congrats to Adam0....He sleep, eats, works, and dreams about tools...I love his feedback!!

Well, it is, of course, an honor.

But, you have to be more "dignified" with your posts...

Less humor, more substance.

I can DO this!

Yes, please use your new powers for good and not for evil.

Ohm...

Ohm...

Volts and Amps

Done!

Watt?

Yes!

Watts, too.

I got this special belt buckle, that reads AC - DC.

That is just so electrically AWESOME!

And, a T-shirt that says TOOLS on it.

Congrats to the guru of tools!! I guess I need to get some wit and humor but my bride of 40 tells me i am too old to change:)

Be careful with that wit and humor deal.

It can sure back-fire on you!

PC is such a pain.

The more people who read your posts, the greater the chance of "offending" someone.

Nice job making it to the Chairman's Circle AdamO.  Congrats.

The last thing in the world that all your posts did was **OFFEND** me AdamO.

I grew up in NY City and still live only 50 miles from there. I was just trying in a nice way to "break your chops" for your compulsive posting. People in NY do that to each other. I guess I got carried away and "complained" about it for some moderation. I really meant no harm, so I apologize if your are referring to me. Maybe I have a guilty conscience, and you are complaining about somebody else?

So what I am saying now, is WHY DON"T YOU JUST GIVE IT UP? You want to be funny and do a couple of hundred posts a day? go ahead. Express yourself.

I think this is very funny, except for the fact that maybe your feelings got hurt. that's not funny. I AM SORRY.  I even made you a "friend" last week here.

and as the saying goes: would you like a little cheese with that whine? See, its just me being me.

Big Smile now :-))

I like the smiley face.

Actually another member posted about my being possibly ADD.

It's not funny to make fun of someone's lack of ability to do math easily.

Somehow I managed to get a Engineering Manufacturing engineering degree from Cal Poly, despite my lack of natural math ability (thank God for calculators).

I like posting.

It's ironic on a board with so many "unhappy" posters, an attempt at humor goes so much "against many people's grain".

It's also a "bad" thing to welcome people who haven't been welcomed to the board, also...

Although my sense of humor may be a tad "unique", this board is not what I would term a standard posting forum, either.

OK, but aaaaargh.

TELL me about it!

Where'd all the U.S. manufacturing go?

I even took a class on the use of plastics in manufacturing.

@Adamo:

You have a great sense of humor.

I've much appreciated the education and entertainment your posts present. Keep up the good work!

This is kind of scarry...

The points make this place so high!

And, it's a little lonely.

But, as many of you can probably surmise, I can probably keep talking long and hard... to myself, if necessary.

Although, helping others and interacting is the MAIN focus for most of my posts.

Actually, I was referring to the store management's suggestion of me not "scarring" some of the Customers away.

It seems, sometimes, I'm too enthusiastic for Customers!

I wonder what they're talk'n about?

:)

OK. Maybe I get a little too excited about showing Customers the store's selection of hammers...

especially if you wave them at the customers!

You're right!

I'll bet that is IT!

I was just demonstrating the balance of the quality tools.

Only one store in the area has the hammer "tester".

Boy that thing was FUN!

It's got a high-density head, attached to a square tubular steel post, that leads the hammer blow force to another high-density plastic pad - that's resting on the floor.

When you "test" a hammer, you can hear the impact through-out the tool section and in the warehouse below.

I always made sure the new hammers were attached well to their handles.

"What was THAT?"

'Adam - over in the hammer area'

HD has hammer drills set up as a demo so you can drill a hole in a concrete block. Whee! drill away. Sears should have that too; sell some more hammer drills. provide eye protection. HD does not.

The key is to have that demo shield set up, during the tool demos.

Oh, wait...

They THREW OUT the shield during the "first" Clean & Brite warehouse pass.

I have actually had some hammer heads fly off the handle when I used some really old hammers that the wooden handle had dried up and shrunk inside the head. Wow! that gets some attention!
