Hi Stoner.
Am addicted to oxygen.

Am too lazy myself: but thought that it might be cool to regularly buy 'special' coins, ( like silver-dollars, or something cheaper ), and then randomly drop them in beggars', or buskers' pots.
Maybe do it surreptitiously, when it's busy, so no one ever get's a glimpse of you, and then walk-away quickly, without looking back.

Sort of like a cheapo secret-Santa.
But the ego dreams of it becoming like some kind of urban legend, among street-folks.
Something that they could keep as a treasure, or exchange for a couple of bucks at a coin-shop.

PS: Stop all of that drilling, ok ? LoL !

You do dream of pulling on spandex at night to go out crime fighting dont you , I forgo giving to beggers and just buy the drugs myself it so cuts out the middle man , much like my new portable circular saw . where is Nevil Bartos

I'm taking the opposite approach, I'm downsizing and getting rid of all the crap I don't need, I got sick of being owned by my possessions.

That is what i started doing the Swedish approach i think it is called ? then things got out of hand pretty quickly , i know own almost every tool known to the working man .

Please do not mention Makita or black and Decker round me or i am off again Plus the thought of my family sorting this lot out PRICELESS

You could have just stopped there...

Do you also collect vintage drills, hand-drills, terrorist drills, disaster drills, fire drills... ?

a reply to: Nothin
Yes to all of the Above PLUS THE ATTACHMENTS

You can never have to many drills or work lights or stuff i tell myself , but that bucket list of mine sure filled up quick

Ps i cannot do licra or jumping buildings with my Sciatica in case you wanted to pair up on a crime fighting tag team

a reply to: stonerwilliam

Five drills? What's wrong with you? You could've bought six and got one free!

I'm not one to talk, I own nine video games consoles, over 300 games, and in my life spent over ten grand on my hobby.

The heart wants what the heart wants, whether it be power drills, video games, nerf guns, hot wheels, and anything that has the words 'star wars' written on it.

And good news ladies, I'm single.

a reply to: Thecakeisalie

I am shocked at the amount of pristine tools etc that are out there 10-20 years old and never been played with by people who buy them .

I just love the thrill of getting something new and taking it out of the box and using it for what it was meant for

a reply to: stonerwilliam

Considering your collection: perhaps we could form a shelf-less-wall fighting tag-team ?

Sneaking around town, and putting-up shelves on all of those bare walls.

You can wear what you want, but a Tim the Toolman Taylor suit might be good for impressing the ladies.



Drill baby drill !!

a reply to: stonerwilliam

Aldi sell lots of tools and they're pretty good for the price, if you don't have workzone in y our collection you will soon.

Man that made me lol

I have a similar drill to that one i just renovated earlier 1955 b&d , i will upload the pics from my phone tomorrow for the pics or it did not happen crew . i either have a big drill or a mixing paddle on it and it gets some laugh now .

And i did my bit for keeping the planet tidy i painted for pleasure not for profit

Come on the kids it is there turn

a reply to: hopenotfeariswhatweneed

It shocks me how cheap things are now , you can go out and buy a 36 volt drill and a spare battery etc for a few bucks , In my fathers time it cost a weeks wages to buy one tool that would last for decades , compared to throwing it in the bin after 3 years .
