Cheap way to get shop press; Lay hints to sons just before fathers day that I've been looking at buying a Harbor Freight shop press. I even (accidentally) left the catalog on the table with the page turned to the presses one afternoon. Come fathers day a new H type floor press shows up.
Worked for my new GPS also.

shd, bet yours is built stronger as the HF one binds and twists under pressure. Still gets the job done, though.

thats what he says too. hopefully, fingers crossed, i would need anything like that. all this asbestos that ive been digging around in the past 3 or 4 years is probably not going to help though. thank goodness i got the asbestos reports from work though. think i might go put those in a security box.

I had sleep apnea and I was on a CPAP, also. Then doctor suggested surgery to open up my airways because I was still choking in the middle of the night from time to time. Surgery was approved, performed, and the CPAP is now history. I've been off the machine for 2 years now. The surgery is not guaranteed to rid you of the machine, and if it does so initially, there's no guaranty that you'll stay of of it, but so far-so good.
