Tool Box Blues

[heath]

I was headed up to Mount Umunum the other day with a friend of mine. The top of the mountain is owned by a friend of his who leases space for radio transmitters of various sorts. One of his towers had fallen and he offered us salvage privileges for any guy cables or parts. My friend drove, I tossed my tool box in the back of his truck and off we

my toolbox smells funny and has no organization

Mine did too, but then I lost it.

First of all, it should be covered by your home-owner's (renter's) insurance.

Secondly, how about stainless?

Nice, but not cheap. Those go on ebay for about $600, and I think they're also sold at costco. If I had a proper shop, I'd get one. I'm looking for something I can carry around.

AUGH, sucks to lose something like that. I'm sorry. Customizing a new one sounds good, but it will hurt all the more when *that* one falls out the back of a truck.
Do the smelly tool boxes smell like vomit?

[heath]

Nah, mostly just playa-dust and grease.

"Maybe I can weld something up."

will you stop SAYING that!

I have to agree with meredith- after seeing that antenna trailer you fabbed up, I have to imagine that your "toolbox" would end up with a V-8 engine, 4 wheel drive, and have more drawers and doors than a well equipped fire-rescue truck.

Atleast it would be portable.

...and I'd just like to add that the goddamned antenna trailer came in right on the weight budget, which was 1500Lbs, tower included. I'll be getting no end of grief about how I over-engineered that thing, but it's still relatively light, tows like a dream, and could survive bomb blast.

It still hasn't passed the Lightning Test. Yet ;)

Hey. I find your journal interesting. I found you by doing a random search. Hope to see a new post in here soon. *smoochies*
