Being single and alone, I hug my DeWalt 788 each time I go to the shop.
In fact it is getting jealous because I spend way to much time reading the forum that I could be spending with him  ;)

Judy....I hug mine every time friend 'room mate' wants to put her car in the garage so 'she' gets a lot of hugs!

Funny how we think of our prized possessions....Guys refer to them as 'her' and Gals do vicey versey!

Hey Mike, how do you put those little smilies into your message?

Use the "REPLY" in the orange bar just below the post. All kinds of neat formatting stuff...or use the old fashioned smiley codes and the board seems to translate them to actual smileys ...

Like three question marks yields ???
