I do the same thing when I browse the tool section. My youngest, 11, says we must always stop in the tool area and browse. He's a good boy.

That made me smile.

 

[PiperCub49]

That was worth a laugh! Definitely me.

 

[redwrench60]

Yeah.....I still do that.

Why I still have such fond memories of sears.

 

[bonneyman]

Yeah.....I still do that.

I'm glad I'm not the only one!

Though, I have finally mastered the art of not drooling!

learning early

We had a Western Auto in our town that I went to with my dad, a long time ago. I loved going in that store.

I did when I first started in the trades. After a while they're just tools. I still do it when looking at muscle cars, though.

My wife, who works at Lowe's, loved this video.

I remember I was the same way going to Sears as a kid. Sears had a much better tool section at the time than Lowe’s or Home Depot which we rarely ever went too.

When I was a kid Sears was all there was, no Lowes, HD, HF, there was a farm and fleet 30 miles away!

On a sidenote; young fathers, don't forget to also take your baby daughters to the tool section. A lot of this stuff is learned, and some make darn sure girls don't learn it because of some dumb notion that they will become a tomboy if they do. My girly older daughter thinks it is fun to drop the transmission out of our sand rail and the younger one may not think it is fun but has enough mechanic feel that I'm sure she could manage with a bit of guidance.

Heck it took a lot of convincing to get my brother to learn how to change the brake pads on his car instead of taking it to the mechanic, and to make a point when we were teaching him I let my daughter take point.

I love taking the kids to too stores and letting them looks around.

However,
The first time I took them to Princess Auto it was a disaster. My boy didn’t want to go in to a Princess store but didn’t want to leave once we got inside, and my girl was super disappointed that the Princess store sold tools and no dolls.

Yes, but at a much OLDER scale.

I worked for a company that mad electronics (in the USA !) back in the 1980s. We were very high volume so we could command "custom" made semiconductors. The plan was to replace a couple of memory chips with a new design that was multiple time more capacity but it fit in the exact location on the circuit board.

Most of the middle an upper level management did not know the difference between a resistor, capacitor or a transistor. So how you you show this to these people ? My friend took a bare circuit board with just 2 of the old chips mounted on it. He painted the top of the chips with black paint and then used dry transfer lettering to print the size of the new chips on top.

This little piece of "art" made him a hit at all of the "dog and pony shows" he had to do !

That's superb!

Side note: I like the child's snow outfit. Very cool color!
