Toward the end, Jim sent me some tools I never wanted. This was my friend. I loved him. We both knew what the tools meant. It was very very bittersweet. I shed a big tear and tucked the tools away. This year is the 10 year anniversary from when he made them. It occurs to me that I may or may not live forever. I know Jim considered this tattered old Porch home, same as me. I know he would be proud they were distributed here. I am offering 3 handmade, signed, Millrat tools, (2 chisels and a delicate beautiful scratch awl) absolutely free in a drawing. 3 winners, one tool each. (And don't worry I still have some.) Just send me your name and I will write it on a piece of paper and draw the winners from a hat. I will draw a week from today. (You'll just have to trust me for this part but there no way I am going to cheat, even if I love you. haahaahah) He deserves to have his legacy kept alive as long as we can. Cheers, ya Millrat!! http://users.snowcrest.net/kitty/sgrandstaff/images/hometools/millrat.jpeg If you don't know who Jim Thompson was, do some web digging and find out. He loved tools and woodworking. yours scott -- ******************************* Scott Grandstaff Box 409 Happy Camp, Ca 96039 scottg@s... http://www.snowcrest.net/kitty/sgrandstaff/ http://www.snowcrest.net/kitty/hpages/index.html |

Mine worked fine. I rigged it so the rest of you could not enter. ;) Kirk, in Half Moon Bay, Ca, pulling Mike’s leg, long distance On Sun, Nov 20, 2022 at 8:30 PM Mike Rock |

Sounds like the millrat variant of the Schwarz effect, I had no problem a little after 8 pm est last night. I will forward the message, if his isp thinks old tools traffic is spam he probably won't see the question. Esther Quoting Mike Rock |

It would typically mean that the servers for his snowcrest.net domain have been seeing too much spam appearing to come from your mhtc.net domain. You could try forwarding the error report to support@m... to see if they are aware and can do something about it. |
