Same here, I was the only one at 7:30am Calif time.

It was a Ghost Town. I thought the little Green Men had come down and sucked very one up and left me.


I post that craftsman Tool box thread and it didn`t show.

I looked up Storm Boy, interesting story.

I just found the Pelican Super Store.
Pelican Super Store - Pelican Cases

Forgot what Waynes World was, had to do some searching.
Here is a pic for those of you also with a foggy brain.

It looks like Charlie has got some insider knowledge...
