Neighbour Gifted Me

[Miss the Pontiacs]

My neighbour just dropped in and gave me a box of 50 cut off wheels. He owns a seed cleaning plant so if they are good enough for him they should serve me well.

 

[The Cobbler]

Nice!
a "You ****" moment

 

[PelicanPines]

You are on the cutting edge of sucking...

 

[Ton ton]

You ****.

 

[Miss the Pontiacs]

Thanks for the suckage, but actually thought I would get drilled on the COO of the product. This is true Chinese not even any English on the box.

There is respectable honesty in that.

Is the neighbor friendly with you?

 

[Portland GUitar]

Well Done!

I hope they are better quality than the Chinese cutoff wheels peddled at Tooltown. Those may well be industrial Chinese,,top quality I hope for your sake.

 

[PugetDude]

Nice neighbor!

Let us know how they work out.

inox ?

 

[woody 73]

inox ?

This is what I found on the web...

The absence of Iron, sulfur , and chlorine in these wheels means they won't corrode or discolor stainless steel. They are also known as INOX wheels.

50?

Nice neighbor.......you how him some beer.....

 

[Miss the Pontiacs]

My neighbour if you haven’t suspected it so far is Chinese. The Chinese neighbours I’ve had tend to be very generous, so receiving the gift is kind of the norm. He owns a large seed cleaning plant. Another neighbour needed a hand with his double garage door as it has separating at the centre joint. They drag me out of my garage show me the problem. We get a ratchet strap and **** it back together. I get my drill, bit, deck screws and cut some 3/4” plywood for the repair and reinforce the joint. The one neighbour brings me over a six pack and a few days later I get the discs from the other.
My wife and I get an assortment of little gifts at different times, we try to reciprocate but probably that I have the best tool collection when they need something. Or give them a hand when needed. The one guy has no mechanical aptitude whatsoever and he admits it. The neighbour that gave me the discs business is an hour away and spends days at a time operating away.
I strongly suspect that the discs are high quality and not likely to be seen either at HF or PA now or in the near future.
Remember Jap **** well the Chinese sell us that level at the moment because we buy it and replace it, replace it and replace it. There is a quality product we just don’t seem to have the opportunity to buy it.

 

[Miss the Pontiacs]

inox ?

Up till today I had no idea about Inox or even heard the term. This is one reason GJ is such a great resource for us all. The knowledge base is amazing.

 

[darkzero]

Inox is what they call stainless steel in some European countries & languages.

I have a couple of Helios-Pressier German made marking gauges & they say INOX on them.

 

[Ton ton]

You definitely have a nice neighbor. They aren't that plentiful anymore.

 

[Notgrownup]

Oh! Cut it out you guys.

 

[Miss the Pontiacs]

It happened again today. My neighbour across the street gave me 3 chunks of sausage. He is also a Chinese guy that happens to be in the meat business. Now I know what I’m going to feed the ravenous teenager that is helping demo the cabin at the lake.

 

[Hammer1963]

Sounds like you have genuinely good and generous neighbors!

Pines you are never at loss for words.

Glad I took TYPING in High School... for several reasons... I was the only Male... got several dates and one long term girlfriend out of that class...

It lets my mind flow thru my fingers...

 

[Ton ton]

Miss the Pontiacs, you ****.

 

[Miss the Pontiacs]

This wasn’t my neighbour but my future SIL. I was tearing down our old cabin recovering some materials that I will later use in some other project. He felt the gloves I was using were not up to par. So he got me a pair of these Watson gloves. Nice gloves protection wise but just a warm to wear. But I did put them to a good working out. So he made a few good SIL points and my appreciation.

My neighbour the meat broker struck again. The other day he gave me a six pack of beer that he traded for meat. I was supposed to test for quality. He phones me a couple of days later for my assessment. I hadn’t tried it yet so I called my another neighbour and we gave it a pass. He then gave us some beef fingers of Wagu beef for our efforts. Then he said you need some beer sausage to go with the beer and laughed. Next thing you know I have a 2 large bags of sausage. I told him he needs to take some cash as he has 3 grade school kids to raise.
not part of the first pic.
So I mentioned I wanted to buy some more of the pepperoni stick sausage. He phones me to night and says he has my sausage. I told him I need to pay for it this time. So he says okay $10. He bought about 4 times what he gave me. He would only take $15. He says I paid what it cost for the whole box. He says I’m treating the rest of the neighbours as I paid his price for what I received. So the gifting to the others is in my behalf.
I’m telling my wife his kids need some more of her neighbourhood famous cookies.
The second pic is what I kept out for treats for me. Which was not part of the first pic.

Let me know when a house comes up for sale in your neighborhood. And I have a 65 GTO and a garage full of Pontiac parts. So when I move in you will no longer miss the Pontiac's.

It is a deal. See if you can bring along a 65 for me as well. i would really like a 65-66 GTO in my stable.
We had a neighbour move out that had 2 young sons. Realized he had made a mistake on moving to the newer area of the city. They had kept their boys at the local school. Meant they had to drive them every day. Took a couple of years for him to find something suitable on our crescent. Now they walk down the block cross the street and the kids are in school again. Mind you he is a pretty good guy and is always willing to lend a hand if needed.

 

[Miss the Pontiacs]

Man! That's a lot of them.

He is a pretty good guy. Originally he said $5 but I didn't see what was coming. Once I seen what was coming my way I had a real problem trying to give him more. Then he said ok and $10 but that was it. I told him the cookies were coming. lol

Yes please.

Your welcome

Pines you are a character! I promised our neighbour and kids out to the lake. Guess what he said. "I'll supply the meat & beer" who would have seen that one coming. lol

Good one LOL

Miss the Pontiacs, you definitely **** when it comes to meat.

A fellow who I used to dispatch when I first started work and kind of lost track of each other a year later. So there has been roughly 45 years ago. We were able to touch base again a few months ago when another common friend said this fellow wanted to see my garage. He initially brought me his collection of repair payphone keys. This gentleman is in his mid 80s now. He invited me and my wife over to his home for a visit. While I’m there he takes me into his basement work room. He gives me a Gray Alligator/Crocodile wrench. I had never seen one of these before. Which is kind of odd as I grew up on a farm and tools were just a fact of life. While he showing me some pretty cool stuff. He gifts me an old hard copy St. John’s Ambulance First Aid book. I noticed and commented on a Brass Eagle in his office. While just like the book he insists that I should have it. Tried to dissuade him but that wasn’t working. Guess we will have him and his wife over for a nice BBQ when it warms up. Kind of nice shooting the **** 4+ decades later.

My neighbour moved a couple blocks away. He had this old library card cupboard taking up space in his new garage. Thought I could make use of it. I know why the former resident left it behind, it weighed a ton.
Only problem is most the plastic sliders glue let go, at least the former owner saved about 90% of them.

 

[The Cobbler]

you have cool neighbours
