    Me? Average. Maybe a little better than average. I’ve never been the driver in an accident. I’ve been pulled over twice. Once for a headlight out and once for doing 52 in a 45 (I suspect the bigger crime was it not being a local on a road where the people that lived there routinely drive 60+), and my insurance usually goes down about every year or two.

    But I’ve made a few mistakes, mistimed some lights, and forgotten to use my turn signal. But id say on the whole, I’m not too bad.






  • I was selling a saw. Pretty good one, compound mitre, slider, 12" blade, and a really nice stand. I don’t remember what I wad asking, but it was fair. Let’s say $500 for the sake of the story. Dude gets in touch, asks a couple of questions, and says yeah, he’ll take it for that price. Day comes, he shows up and checks it out. I have it set up and we cut a couple of boards to show him it’s all square and good.

    He says cool, here’s $300.

    I say, yeah, uh, we said 5. I’m selling it for 5. Not 3.

    He looks at me deadpan and says this is all I brought.

    I say well, I’m selling it for 5.

    He looks at me and says I drove all the way from *city about an hour away on a good day with no traffic.

    I look back at him and say Huh. I bet you wish you hadn’t done that.

    He just kind of stands there looking at his shoes while I pack the saw back up and he sort of sulks off.
