You want someone who's either rich or losing a screw

E-word,

I'm working on a short story. It's taking a life of its own, which is a good thing, and I'll have something for you a little early, since we're going on a trip this May. I'll also send you a more detailed critique of your short story.

In the meantime, I'm forwarding you an email my brother just sent me, because it is hilarious. I can't believe he's my brother sometimes, I mean he's like from another planet from me. His handiness has rubbed off on me a little, but I am nothing like him. I have exactly one power tool, a cordless drill that I really only use for screws and things like that.


Toe,

You can never and I repeat never have enough power tools or equipment with internal combustion engines. It's simply not possible. Although it does become a pain to tune up and change the oil on so many things. I really don't have too many toys yet. Let's see:

4-stroke air cooled:
riding mower
5500 watt generator
push mower
pressure washer

2-stroke:
25 cc blower
52 cc backpack blower
string trimmer/edger
chainsaw

electric:
5 gallon pancake compressor
staple gun
brad nailer
nailer
miter saw
table saw
fixed/plunge 2 1/4 hp router
18V cordless drill
palm sander
dremel

Okay, maybe that is more than average. I'll give you that. I am hoping to become more like Norm and really want to get into woodworking as I get older.

My brother has a brad nailer and a regular nailer. Well, he had to I guess since he installed the floor in his living room. He must have been adopted.

Love,

Toe
