    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    Names don't mean shit to me. The vast majority of my tools and all my storage is Mac branded. I have never gone the (IMO) overpriced SnapOn route. Aside from my Verus and it's accessories, I don't have $1000 of SnapOn/Blue Point tools. Sunex currently makes Mac, Matco, and Cornwell boxes, but SnapOn makes their own. They have for several years. My Macsimiser is ~20 years old and was made back in the day when Mac made their own boxes. It is so much more solid then the new boxes. One of my co-workers has a Sunnex built Matco cabinet that is very close to the Snap-on I am on the fence about. He paid $1450 for it, I will pay $1350 for the Snappy. It is so close in dimensions you need a tape measure to see which is bigger (the SnapOn drawers are ~ 1/2 inch larger in width and depth, the SnapOn cabinet is ~1/2 inch wider and deeper, and the SnapOn is a 6 drawer, where the Matco is a 5 drawer. The SnapOn unit is also more solid (double layer steel sides) and offers expandability, through a slot locking system built into the panels. I am not a fan of the lock and roll drawer locking system. One of my co-workers is an all SnapOn guy, and he has a box that uses this system. You have to finger a full drawer length release and move it to the left ~1/2 an inch. It is very easily removable (less then 10 seconds per drawer with no tools required), but the drawers have no detents. Being a half an inch wider and getting a half inch deeper is never bad...

    Man, tomorrow is going to be a long day. Steak was delicious. Had an amazing night. Paid for it a bit but I needed a good night. Ended up making good friends with some of the guys. Tomorrow will be rough though...

    I dropped my fiance once in our dance class. They told me to spin her with all I had and when I did I could catch her on the follwo through so her momentum took us both down.

    Slow h0p again tonight. Accidentally navigated to the wrong Raddison on the way back from dinner tonight. I knew something was up when I didn't cross the river back into Il but somehow ended up at my "destination". On the way back I told my GPS, "I got this..." and ended up testing out the awd on the Rav4 when I got lost.

    Since the change over I haven't had a single issue. But my issues only got bad right before they announced they were getting a new server

    Chilling at the airport now. Saw an electrical outlet for my laptop so I buy a $3 water at this place and turn around and someone took the spot. So I look at the boarding area and see nothing. Head back down and see the bar and find an outlet. Setup shop there then order a Stella on tap.... $10.48 for one freaking beer!?!?! I'll be sipping this boy slooooooow.

    Well my flight this morning to ATL got delayed, which would make me miss my layover. So instead I'm stuck in Tulsa until 4 and will have a layover in Minne (MSP) before heading over to Moline this evening.

    Speaking of delicious food. Anyone ever had something delicious that you can't pass up in Tulsa OK or Moline (Quad Cities) ROFL. Check out downtown East Dubuque, but don't bring the wife. Louis Armstrong liked it so much he sang about it. So so far over my head...
