You're all cracking me up! Thanks!
Today has been much better, decided I was sick of Sear's run around and called Chase Visa... already have my refund and THEY called Sear's to insist UPS be at my house no later then Monday to pick up the saw.
Also went to HD and managed to get in and out with my paste, sandpaper, and some new drill bits so I can finish my work bench all w/o incident.
Off to get my table sanded and waxed and then get to building my work bench in the basement so I can get the scroll saw off the kitchen island (though honestly I like it in there, easy to keep an eye on the kids playing in the livingroom and a great excuse not to cook "but honey I have a project going in the kitchen right now" LOL
PS GB: Santa did come early, I sold my Cricut (paper cutting machine) for a very nice amount online and it's financed all my new wood working toys!
