Wait a minute! Today is Larry "Original" Smith's Birthday? Well what do you know. Mine is tomorrow, the 25th.

Turning 60 this year. Larry is what, 63? 65? :lol:

Happy Birthday Larry. I wish you many, many more. Thanks for the help you've given me over the years.

Cheers!
Mike Spaziano.

Thanks guys! Actually, my birthday is the 30th. I've still got 5 days to go. It's still great to be able to wake up in the morning with no aches or pains, although it's getting difficult to get off my creeper!

Larry,

If you are like me...you have almost no difficulty getting down on a creeper (I sorta plop) it’s the getting back up! I can get back up maybe once, so I took a half sheet of 3/4, added Rollie wheels. And spent a day tossing a general selection of duplicate tools on it.

That way if I forget a tool, something on the tool creeper will do the job 😂

My son is trying to encourage me to make the garage ADA compliant with grab bars angled to the floor. Told him not yet!
