@tatmantall:

found this corny picture of me on the university website, I received an honor as one of the top essayists on campus. Realistically though, this picture demonstrates how tall 6'6" looks that a 6'6" tall, full tattooed guy isn´t just looking badass as fuck in his ironheart gear…no, he´s also a smartass at the same time.

…congrats lad!

Thanks Finn! Love your little edited version as well

My friend's eyewear brand made it into one of the style pages of the New York Times. This is a huge deal for his brand.
Also, I took the images of the glasses.

Here's his website. http://shop.silverliningopticians.com/

I took all the product and store images.

Some of my other buddies ( http://doubledayandcartwright.com/ ) designed the website.

Good for your friend and you on a nice photo.  Those are really some pimp frames…

[Megatron1505]

I like every one of those frames…...hmmmmmm.....

Congrats on the honor!

Yeah that's awesome Shane.  If I wasn't so blind and needed such heavy lenses I would be all over those.

Yesterday I was working on making a work table for my garage, which involved making numerous angled cuts with a circular saw.  Since I'm minimally skilled, it was a slow process and resulted in a few too many miscut boards.  I vented a bit to my wife and said that it would be quicker and better if I had a compound miter saw.  She asked how much one was, I told her the range I was considering, she said, "mmmm."  End of conversation.  Today, she told me that she's been wanting a bench for our back porch and if I build one to her specifications, I have free rein to purchase a miter saw.

If I play this right, I may get a table saw out of the deal, too.

Hank Hill, ladies and gentlemen.

I convinced Jody to let me get a 26" A frame ladder a similar way. We did a cost comparison on how much it would cost to hire a handyman to install a new ceiling fan vs getting the giant ladder, and the cost was the same as the ladder. Plus I got a really nice ladder out of it

Btw, my dad might have a compound miter saw he'll sell you. His hands aren't too steady anymore and he's not comfortable using it

Thanks for the heads up, but I already jumped on one.  Had to buy before Julie came to her senses…

You mean before she wakes up from the GHB induced "nap"…

Po-tay-to, po-tah-to.  All the same, really.

Same for Jody and I with guns;)

Who told you what gentlemen do?

It's instinctive Christopher, I am English. In the colonies you merely ape the behaviour of the old world.
