Extremely rare Thursday ES for me today. Tons of stuff and tons of tools and the weirdest tract house I've ever been in! Garage door was stuccoed over and garage converted to a room; the kitchen downstairs was sink counter only and apparently converted in to a "Crafts room"; a "New" (but very old) kitchen was added upstairs? and a detached garage added in the back, (where most of the tools were) and a "something" room tack on the back of the house Swimming pool was empty and had been for years (except for the remnants if rain water) several door had 2-3" step up/downs adn everyone was tripling on those...
Two tool box stacks were "All or nothing" and one bottom was locked shut?
But I found a few things:
Couple of hammers -We all know what the big one is, but the small one (with a REALLY long handle) is an oddity - someone was clearly a body man, I left other body tools.
Handles at lest by MAC:
Crescent 4" wire formers, Blue point Snap ring pliers, and 2 mini Vise grips, one of which desperately needs an E-Rust bath... (Frozen)
Matco Drivers; two are definitely marked:
#3 is a different shape and no markings, but the receiving end of the grips are identical:
4" leather sheath, and a "Surgical Kit" - mixed brands, some from Pakistan but probably the nicest Pakistani work I've seen.
Last was a metal "Viking ship", I asked how much (It was at the register table - My tab was @30) and she said "Still thirty!". OK! if you look close, they "mixed Metaphors", and included 2 skull and crossbones -only about 7 centuries after the vikings!

). But seriously, does Ohio or California or New York or Texas or anyplace any of us call home need defending? Are we really going to start commenting on subjectivities like assessments of states? Is there an objective ranked lists of states floating around that I don't know about? They're all great. And they all have some issues. Not on my watch! This isnt 'Free Parking'.
