Gotta love it when the 'boss' wants the shop cleaned up...:r
We were told to clean up a shop area at work and "throw out all that crap"
There was a hard case from some obsolete equipment, an older version of a Pelican case, made by Hardigg.
They appear to have been bought out by Pelican. Anyway the case is the 1400 size and after a little cleaning it is home and dry.:noon
Now the question is, how do I keep my wife's grubby little hands off of it.:r
As soon as I walked it in the door, she tried snagging it.
I have a large travledor so I think this will be re-purposed into a camera/electronics carry case.

The added kicker is, I'm waiting on the 'boss' to decide on another case with an ultrasound something or another....
The damn thing is in a Zero Halliburton case:noon:noon
I think it's the Camera Case 18x13x6 :banger

I don't know....a man gets very few chances to REALLY please his woman. I would give it up. If you have a large
herf case, you also likely have more cigars than you actually need, which would indicate that you have a relatively
flexible and forgiving spouse. Most can get a little irked when packages show up in the mail or you blow a hundred
in a cigar store. I always believe that you take the easy chances to please the spouse, because we, being men,
are usually not very good at doing the right thing by sheer instinct. So we need some mulligans now and then.

Thanks for blowing it....:mad:
I of course open this to read just as the wifey walks up behind me and reads this over my shoulder....
"See he thinks you should give it to me"....:rolleyes:
Not the kind of "give it to me" I had in mind....:r

I'll give it to you if I can give it to you?

Oh, she doesn't get off the hook that easy. That's why they call it a give and take.
Other than that, sorry, I do tend to ruin things for everybody, and often.
I DO find that you never get until you give.

Nope, broke her heart.
It is going to be my pipe case as soon as I replace the foam inside.

I picked up another one, not as nice as the Pelican, but it will go to the wifey...
Should make a nice laptop case or...??

Finally had the time to gut the other case and bring it home...
A DeWalt cordless drill case that was being pitched out.

Now all it needs is some foam lining and the DeWalt buffed off.
This should keep the wife's hands off of the Pelican case:r
