Well there is "limited activity" in turning pens. And with the lift assist on the SS there is no (heavy) lifting. I don't see what the problem is..dusty wrote:The bad news is that I have been told "limited activity" for two weeks and no lifting for another three.

I see said the blindman, to his deaf wife, as he picked up his hammer and saw.

I am going to be taking some electical classes at community college. I am looking for a basic/started list of tools that I should start collecting for when I get out. Here is what I have so far:
Dikes, needle nose, wire strippers, flat head and #2 phillips screwdrivers, channel locks (lg and small), hammer, belt & pouch, voltage tester, tape measure, torpedo level, linemans pliers, nut drivers. Some one mentioned to get: 3/8" drive sockets, 1/2 round file, 1-1 1/4" KO. Also something called DMM?
