Even though I have not been a member since 2000 (when I did have a
momentary lapse in judgment and I keep the membership card next to my
computer just to remind me that I am not as smart as I think I am), I
just got a package in the mail from the Handyman Club of America. All
I got in the past was a cheesy plastic drill bit index and a carbon
steel leatherman style knife. I never even got the sanding sponge
others have bragged about.
In it was a wonderful set of carbon steel jewellers' screwdrivers and
a hardcover glossy book on "Tools and Techniques". The book covers
everything: Workshop Tools and Skill, Plumbing & Wiring. No need for
the wreck anymore and I can use my FWW collection as firestarter! It
even explains how to ground dust collections systems to eliminate the
danger from sparking caused by static electricity. That should settle
the debate once and for all.

Of course, after all, I'm important to them.
But, apparently not as important as some people that really suck.

Those things are really useful. I drilled a bunch of holes in a 2X4
and screwed the thingie to it. Makes a useful stand-up drill bit
container & easier than ordering one from Mc-Master Carr.

Better raise hell about the book now, so they don't try to stick you with
Volume II in a couple of months. I made such a big stink about that stupid
book that they still haven't bothered me, all these years later. I think
they're afraid of me. :)
Why're they offering that stuff to a Kanukistani anyway? It's the Dumb
Schmucks Club of AMERICA dammit.

Lessee, at my usual billing rate of 100 kanuckistani loonies per hour,
it will take me:
0.75 hour to use the Tiger Torch & charger to get the car started.
0.5 hour to drive downtown & back to get boxes.
1.0 hours to run around looking for boxes.
2.0 hours to pack & address the mags
0.75 hour to use the Tiger Torch & charger to get the car started.
0.5 hour to drive downtown to the post office & back.
1.0 hour to stand in line at the post office.
0.5 hour to go to the bank to get cash because I forgot that the PO
does not take credit cards
1.0 hour to stand in line at the post office.
Total 8 hours @$100 = $800.
Direct expenses:
propane for Tiger Torch $10.00
electricity for charger $ 0.15
Mileage (20 km @ $0.45/km) 9.00
Postage (appr 75kg) $250.00
Shipping boxes Free from liquor store!
So, for a mere $1,069.15 in kanuckistani loonies, they are yours.
(That's over $800 in Yankee pesos.)

Did you also notice the bill for 10 bucks in there with it? And the promise
of more $10 books in the future along with other useless crap to fill your
junk drawer with! I got it and sent the book and the bill back. I gave the
screwdriver set to my daughter to play with!

I hope you post lots of good answers and help us out now that you have
this book!
Yes you can recycle your FWW.

That's a great idea. I realize it can be inconvenient to recycle magazines
sometimes, so I'll gladly pay to have you ship them to my house and I'll
take care of them from there :)
