He Went To His First Tool Trade Show Today…So Excited He Couldn’t Stop Talking About It….

Brought home 2 five-gallon buckets of small tools, tool pouches, cleaning wipes, catalogs, a blue tooth speaker, a metal water bottle, an insulated cup, snacks, a folding knife, multi-tools etc. And they fed him a good lunch. He wants to go back tomorrow. Spoke with some of the vendors but didn’t have time for everyone.

I attended a corporate trade show once, which was similar...and they ARE a lot of fun!!! I think he SHOULD go back today! He will get ALL kinds of information there!

And P.S....I am glad you are all safe. I heard last night that tornadoes were ripping through north cental Oklahoma.

@4meAndyou I was watching the news before we had dinner and they said a tornado was near the McAlester area which is down in southeastern Oklahoma.

@cherokeepatti I assume the news I was watching didn't have a CLUE.

@4meAndyou There were two tornadoes in the north central part of Oklahoma night before last. One of them did a lot of damage, destroyed about 50 homes plus some businesses and outbuildings around Enid, Oklahoma. They said it was an EF-4 tornado.

That is so awesome! Tool trade shows are so much fun. Hopefully he didn't break R's bank account. Lol!!! 🤣

@Musicman He said they weren’t selling things, just promoting their companies and giving free things

@cherokeepatti That works too. 🙂

Trades are under rated and pay far better than people realize.

@Lilnonames pretty sure our coast guard/military service provides the same type of retirement package after 20 years of service. actually a friend of mine has a cousin who was in the us navy retired from that and then worked for the us post for a few years and collected 2 pensions

@beermeplease Knew someone who retired from the military, went to work at a commissary on a military base afterward, retired from that, and got a job working at the local state mental hospital and retired from that, also got Social Security.. He had 4 retirements, was pretty well off.
