In early December I had about an hour to kill near Houston Hobby airport so I hit some pawn shops. I found a disc and belt sander Dayton which had never been used. They were asking $150, but of course I couldn't check a 350# item. Just about the time I got to the car rental return I thought about getting on the WW Grainger catalog with Google that is on my T-Mobile phone. It was over $2500 in the Grainger catalog so I turned around and put the sander in layaway. The next week my wife had surgery in Houston and she preferred driving in her 4 door pickup rather than flying. I stayed in a hotel near the airport while she was in the hospital and picked up the sander before I picked my wife up. It took a couple of guys to load it. Right before I left, the manager told me they had had it for 5 months and no one had ever known what it was. She asked me if I knew what it was or if I just bought it because it was cheap. I still do a little woodworking and a table model disc and belt sander will be nice.
