Tool bonanza! Plus 3 quarters. 2025 is looking good already.

I once picked up a big screwdriver as long as my forearm in an intersection. All the other drivers looked at me like I was crazy (Crazy Tom, Crazy shinnosuke)

Happy you found the 10mm I'm missing!
Amazing all the things you find!

It finally happened, out on a nice Saturday afternoon ride. Spied a golf ball outside of the fence.
As I slowed to pick it up, I saw him. The golfer, looking at the ball, then looking at me with a helpless forlorn face.

"Your ball?, I asked.

"Yea......."

So I tossed it to him. The one that got away.

So I was taking some stuff to Goodwill. Saw a golf ball in the drop off driveway. It has a Steelers helmet on one side
and Wilson on the other (the manufacturer, not the Steeler QB). The Irony....

I grew up in Pittsburgh. Sent a pic of the ball to my sis back home and she replied, "That's why someone got rid of it!"

Did you take your sister off your Christmas card list for that comment?
