Me too! It took me right back to high school.

The repartee was a bit less clever back then, but the dimensions were even more exaggerated. The setting was a local highway bridge over a river gorge, and the cold water rushing by far below. The punch line included the sharp rocks on the bottom of the cold deep river.

Almost makes me want to call up an old high-school buddy. Almost.

Haha No kidding! Not what I was expecting but benush26's sounds like the idea I will go with. Too cold in the winter here and too many bugs in the summer otherwise the birthday suit idea would have been perfect

We do wear clothes in the house but only wear shoes in the basement woodshop...
The shop doorway is about 12 feet from the base of the stairway. We keep a carpet runner there and a commercial mat in the doorway. That keeps the tracking under control pretty well.
It stays too warm in the basement shop to wear anything in the way of extra clothing there.
In the farm shop I have to dress like an Eskimo in the winter.
It is going to be a lot warmer outside now coming into spring and I can't wait. I have had a temporary OSB closure over the big hole in the basement shop wall where I moved the big stuff in and I am anxious to get the opening framed in and get a proper door made for it. I have had the treated lumber bought and sitting in that corner waiting for a while now. I am especially excited about having a window in the door to look out and let in a little natural light. On the occasions that I have had that closure open to move something it changes the whole character of the shop. I am kind of a window freak and none of the basement has any windows.

Really. Now I am being told more than I want to know.

Did that once hit me in the small of the back, I thought I ruptured a kidney.

Thanks guys, Laughing that hard makes my shoulder hurt. Yes I wear clothes in the shop. I have become careful what I wear so as to reduce sawdust travel. I prefer leather slip on shoes. Jeans, cotton shirts or T shirts in summer with a slick surface. An apron for most projects except turning, then I wear a turning smock (the smock is scheduled to have the knitted cuffs removed, the idiot that designed it clearly doesn't wear one or would know knitted cuffs are shaving magnets) I always wear a baseball cap when turning (my baseball cap has had the bill surgically removed as the darned thing was always in the way. I also wear a face shield that has a band around my head. That face shield has save my life more than once. I tried the hard mounted shield that Shopsmith sells and didn't like it as it does not move when one changes position. I use a broom or the air compressor for final dust removal before entering the garage or house. Hey the cars are bigger than the wife and may object to dust invading their space. Jim

Some folks have story sticks a little more fictional than others.

Some think they have novels.

I think a few of you think you have Time-Life complete sets.

While we appreciate your enthusiasm, please don't put these four words together in this type of thread. Just doesn't look good, you understand.

OK, this has got to be the BEST THREAD, I've seen in a long time!
