Default Tool Apology

Last week several of us decended on Jazzbass to help a little R&R on a few cars. One was an extensive amount of brake work. In the process of cleaning up and leaving I wound up with two of Jazzbass' wrenches for which I apologize. I think if I am going to use my tools in the future it is up to me to mark them. I must say he was very gracious.

I too have been bad. Very bad.

Let's see, currently I'm bogarting:

- Justin's leak down tester and engine jack adapter
- Ted's fun filled jack and thrilling wood blocks
- Richard's Island valve adjustment tool, and
- Dave's Mother of all Torque wrenches

Richard and Dave - send me you addresses and I'll deliver tomorrow!

Greg, don't worry about it. My 993 has hydraulic lifters.

I think it's all about keeping it in the Dorki family. I currently have:

Jason's- 101 projects, BMW 2002 work shop manual
Jassbass's- Bently 3.2 manual
Sam's- offset wrenches

Thanks to all for trusting us with what we wouldn't lend our next door neighbor.

THAT is the best you can do Rick?...I expected so much more from you...sometimes when you are the only financial analyst on an $82 BILLION program, full-time graduate school, collaterial duties, a family etc, time is more important than money. School is over in four weeks so now I will have the TIME. I'll get my own tool.
