Proud Moment Today!

[Conductor562]

 Conductor Jr. has always had tools, but mostly the kind of stuff I didn’t care to hit with the mower. Today he stepped up to his first big boy set. He selected a HF 44” roller cab in his favorite color green and $300 worth of essentials from HD. He has wrenches and sockets on his Christmas list, but I think he spent his money pretty wisely covering some basics.

After all we’ve been through this is one of those special days I didn’t know if we’d ever get to share.

Between Christmas and his Birthday he’ll have a fine setup for a boy turning 12.

I am impressed, thats a bit more than the average basics as I know them.

My ten year old has a tote with about ten tools and uses them around the house.  So far nothing destroyed and half hidden.
The hacksaw and hammer are worrisome.

Woohoo, that has got to be a big day for a young man.  Congrats to Sr. And Jr.

Thanks for stopping by and sharing

Congrats, Travis!

Oh heck yeah!

I definitely see some good choices in there, especially the blue stuff 

Congrats, it's good you can share a love of tools.
Hopefully the next thing he does is drags home a thrown away lawn mower you can teach him how to fix.

that does look like a damn good start. not much fluff and lots of room to expand.

[goodfellow]

Wow -- what a great start for a pre-adolescent young boy. You certainly set a new standard Travis; well done! He'll remember this moment the rest of his life.

[J.A.F.E.]

Nice selection. Funny I just bought that same set of blue prybars.

But the best part is you have this time to share.

[slip knot]

Congrats on putting the boy on the right track.

That is great Travis and considering what your son went through he may have more appreciation for things than others his age.

[skfarmer]

oh and i forgot to mention, good to see ya travis. i was thinking of you the other fay when i saw something on tools in action. noticed we hadn't seen ya in a while.

[muddy]

Wow that's a great setup to start out with. I didn't have anything near that when I was twelve..... although come to think of it I may have lost that many tools of my father's by then.
