First, Happy Flag Day!
Second, Happy Birthday, Army!
I spent the morning putting a couple of new items together – an air compressor (did you know that Bostitch doesn’t make replacement parts for their oil-less compressors? especially the little reed valves in the cylinder head?) and a new miter saw. (the old one, the handle broke; Home Depot doesn’t sell the motor case that has the handle molded on to it, neither does Ryobi.)
We went to Sears to get the replacements – nothing like good old American made Craftsman, right?
Except for the tags on the bottom of the boxes that very clearly state “Made in China.”
Dangit!
Thank you for stopping by, God bless you all, listen to The O Word on BlogTalkRadio, Wear Red on Fridays, and support Warriors for Innocence!
Happy Father’s Day!
Thank you, Samantha!
Hope your weekend was relaxing!
God bless America. The finest experiment EVER to have been conducted on the entire planet.

Amen, BZ!
And so far, still working in spite of the left…
Hey Cary,
Don’t worry too much about the made in China tags. I remember years ago everyone was claiming Japan was going to take over America because they were buying property left and right.
Where are they now?
China doesn’t stand a chance until they change their government. They will end up falling just as Russia did.
Paul! Good to see you!
I remember that whole Japanese buying spree, too – and you are right.
With China’s suppressive government, it will be a long time before they have their act together.
