Did anyone get any OPE for Christmas? How about IPE?

No new OPE here. From Jan to Aug last year, I bought 4 new ones. Thought I was going through male menopause, but since I didn't acquire a convertible sports car and a foxy young blonde to go with it, I guess I'm just updating my OPE, or I'm not rich enough to maintain the last two.

No new IPE this year.

Marshall,

You said :Boxing day..........OK, all you well to do folks send me practical things I need, in boxes. Glad you said "well to do folks" since that lets me off the hook.

Hope you find a job soon.

Thanks Frank. It is very good Boxing Day as I am staying away from the shopping centres, and letting everyone else fight over the after Xmas specials.

New IPE here, My wife bought a Craftsman Circ. saw to replace the one that I burnt up. It does have the laser sight. Haven't had a change to use it yet but it should fill the bill nicely.

I am sorry Dave. My prayers are with you on you finding a new job.

No new OPE, new IPE, hmm, does a new CB radio to my collection count? If so then yes!...

Marshall, do you know my wife!? Pretty safe assumption, that she wants something done when she stoops to shopping for tools! Besides, you left out the bath remodel as well as the basement shelving she wants!

I'm sure something good will pop up for you Dave, hang in there.

Hey, if you end up being a big cheese somewhere and need a good man in Columbus, keep me in mind!

My Mr. Mom role will be coming to an end soon, as our youngest starts school full time in the fall!

Damn, now I gotta figure what I want to be when I grow up!

I thought that IPE was Internet Power Equipment. Maybe we could refer to the computer equipment as CPE. Anyway, I'm building a new CPE with a Chaintech ANF3-250, with a AMD XP 64 3400+. A media center PC with gaming capabilities. That project will take a chunk out of the toy account.
