Picking up the like new grey box and the like new Blue Point cart this Saturday and transferring the tools from my 2 lower Snap On boxes. The stainless steel top should transfer right over. Before anyone asks, the new grey box width and depth are the same. The new box is 5" taller though. $4k for the grey box and $600 for the cart. Cart sells new for $1800.

Toolbox deal is now over. Suffice it to say, "some plans have changed". No hard feelings on either side and more money for the seller. I still may be buying some more individual tools from him and for now, I am staying with my 2 box set up.

Before I get in to the "some plans have changed" reason for the tool box deals falling through, I found this today at ebay and had to post it. These pics are an exact match of my 3 tier box, without the decals/stickers. Without the stainless steel top.

Reasons for the tool box buying and selling and slowing down are as follows.

1. Hernia operation coming up on 09/28 and the 2-4 weeks recovery.

2. Diagnosed with a narrowed spinal cord column/spinal stenosis caused by arthritis. Will likely be operated on in November and the recovery time could be 3-6 weeks.

3. Heart Aortic calcification/coronary artery arteriosclerosis, that will require a procedure called Pharmacologic nuclear stress test. This can lead to a stent fix or the balloon insertion in to the aorta....Balloon aortic valvuloplasty.

Linda is worried and I am not....YET. The hernia operation and back surgery is not a worry. The heart stuff is but the heart specialist said that the previous echocardiogram and CT scan shows the plaque build up is very minimal and the restriction is at the very minimal range of a need for anything other than meds.

Still gonna work on vehicles when I can and recover from it all as best I can.

Now.....efff any of you that wish me luck or whatever way you express worry. I am not worried and none of you should bring me down with any of it. Linda does enough for thousands of people.

Piss me off with what I just said I don't want and I will ignore you for months. In other words....the best thing to say is....."Get over it slacker!!!!!!!!!"

My hernia operation is now delayed because of my heart condition, I have to have a stress test and cannot get scheduled till 10/14 for that and then the hernia operation scheduled after that, when the heart doctor and hernia doctor talk. So.....hernia operation first and then back surgery and address the heart and see what will happen with that.

Linda was just joking and said, "It's no big deal for the Hernia operation! Just stuff IT back in there and slap a Post-It Note on it, that says "Stay in there"!
