Allen wrenches

I thought I would share this here to make sure my dad sees it rather than on fb  or my personal blog.

Several years ago Dad bought me a "real" toolbox to replace the plastic fishing tackle box I had been using. It's a big metal one with a very sturdy handle. Then he began upgrading my tools.

At some time he bought a set of allen wrenches for me. I have probably used them once or twice in the 10-15 years I've had them.

This morning I packed up my garage closet and decided to keep my tool box out and available. The set of allen wrenches wasn't in the box but was on a shelf by themselves. I debated if I should pack in a box or keep them out and available. I opted to keep them out and set them on top of the box.

Sure enough this afternoon when I was replacing the shower curtain rod I needed allen wrenches.

So Dad, thanks for the foresight many years ago that I would need allen wrenches. They surely came in handy today!

Judy, I'd let you help pack if you were here too! The end is in sight I think.
