I had a big meeting at work for Taskstream software which we use to track all kinds of things in an academic setting. We have a SACS (Southern Association of Colleges and Schools) re-accreditation site visit soon, and the higher admin. is making us toe the line on quantifying student and professor work, that's the Taskstream use. Re-accreditation is a huge deal, essentially, without it, the college shuts-down. We are a branch of the FL college and university system, so that's not going-to happen, but you could be put on probation. If that happened a lot of people would probably be fired.
So I hop into my Camry, dead battery! Grab the briefcase, and take the GMC. My boss was happy I did my stuff before today's deadline, I was-done last Fri. With the software workshop meeting concluded, I checked on two paramedic classes underway, and then went to the dentist. Done w/the dentist, went home & the battery had 12.4 v but it was dropping after having been on a charger & then removed. Load it into the GMC & headed to a Miami FL-area Sears Auto Center for a Die-Hard. $119 later, I have a new Die-Hard Gold, 3 year full-exchange 2 more years pro-rated. And while I was pulling-into the auto service area, I saw this (pic). Rough, but probably getting
someone to work.
Waiting for the battery load test to cycle, I went to the tool dept. & got several things.
- universal 3/8" sq. drive oil filter wrench. I have several strap ones but thought this was a good price, and lifetime Craftsman warranty (Sears is closer than HFT). $12
- a pair of 5000-lb. test screw chain links. I use these for strapping my bikes in the trailer or truck bed to hard-points on either. Plenty of capacity! $4
- an intermediate 3-drawer Craftsman tool chest, ball-bearing. Reg. $120, on-sale $44. I already filled it w/misc electrical bulbs & fuses, my Motion Pro carb synch manifold, & other stuff
- a two-shelf roll-cart, also Craftsman, 400 lbs capacity. I wanted one of these for engine work. I'm gonna make a thick plywood insert for both shelves, and save my back while working on engines. I've got a couple for parts, one-day I'm gonna build one from the two. It was $25, close-out.
So, some new organizational capacity for my tools, and a great heavy-duty workbench/roll-cart. And, a look at a Fazer that has seen better days, but is still providing transportation.
No VBoosting today, though!:confused2:
