The imperial set is coming Monday. I don’t have a preference yet, but I imagine I’ll be working mostly in imperial.

What Did You Buy Today?

Wifey and I spent the day today at the 'Worlds Longest Yard Sale'... we drove probably 40 miles of it, all in Alabama.
We didn't buy much, but I did pick up a couple of ¾" masonry drills for $1 each...
I also bought a Mitutoyo DTI, mounted on a chineseum mag base for $30... it needs cleaning, but works smoothly.
I also bought 9 t-shirts, (irregulars, but good for 'shop shirts'), 2 bottles of BBQ sauce, and a large cup of homemade vanilla ice cream that didn't last long enough.

A couple of minor things. Some 1/8" tool steel for making some internal threaders, and some batteries for my shop calculator, an old HP15c. Calculator quit a couple of days ago. Opened it up and found a slightly corroded battery. Measured the voltage and found it on the low side, so ordered some. Cleaned the battery and calculator and got it to work again. The 15C needs 3 cells, I ordered 6. Installed the 3 cells, and calculator is good for another 10 years!
Oooh! Kind of jealous, been looking for a 3 ton that I can afford.
I just pried the kids from their video game and made them move it.It sure feels like it when you have to move it!

I had an HP financial calculator for 30 years. Hated it when it died. Very few calculators are available with reverse Polish notation these days, too bad, much better system.
