    Most of my shop friends (all of us of early Jurassic age) use the expression, "Handier than a shirt pocket." My wife is aghast that I rate the quality of shirts by their pockets - how many, flaps, flap buttons, and when flap is closed is there a slit to accommodate a pencil clip.

    I keep a pocket protector in my tool box to remind me of the good ol' days but my daughters refuse to be seen with me if I should wear it. At Halloween one of my grandsons wanted to dress up as a mad scientist. I was disappointed when he asked to borrow my pocket protector to complete the look.

    A further refinement to the drill bit labeling that I made after the article was written... For the numbered drills use two colors, one to label 10, 20, 30, etc. and another to label 5, 15, 25, 35, etc.. This will speed the process of counting to the desired drill.

    Lost me. Commas are wasted on me, I am dyslexic lol
    No, I really am dyslexic so I make it up as I go most of the time. It just takes me six to seven times to read something to understand it. Would struggle without computer. They really are a great help and allows me to post with a lot more confidence. So, if you ever read one of my posts and it really doesn’t make sense let me know lol.

    Marv and The Home Engineer,

    I enjoy the art of punctuation for the English language. Punctuation clarifies the exact meaning to the subject and something I was taught in the 50's and 60's. You may see my HMT editing date stamps on several of my postings and replies whereby I have edited my previous written text. I think my writing skills have deteriorated over time when quickly replying during work using email, IM and the Internet. I especially dislike my mistakes in the use of prepositions. I have forgotten many of my old grammar rules originating from Latin translations and historically have made their way into the English language and are now considered obsolete.


    Regards,

    Paul Jones
