Ha, they thought I was asleep but low and behold I awoke,hehe
Joat let me ask you something so maybe we can put the naysayers to rest once and for all about these impact wrenches.
Lets say you come to the shop and while coming to the door you hear a gun shot. You open the door and in the floor is a dead man with a bullet hole in his chest. There's fresh warm blood all over the dayumm place, the guys feet are still wiggling even though he's dead. You look and see me standing over him with a pistol in my hand and smoke still coming out the barrel. I'm looking down on the man saying "that will teach you to f'k with me you SOB" No one else is there cept me and the dead man. Would you think I shot that man? If so you just solved the impact wrench deal,LOLOLOL
(BTW I would not shoot Woodie but I would fill a 4 foot water hose full of sand and beat him half to death,haha)
Tommie,
Well, ole Tommie is a man of upstanding morals, the pinnacle of a moral man. So, this would cause me to make a thorough investigatation.
1. Secure the premises, both inside the shop and establish a perimeter about 300 yards or so outside the shop.
2. Gather evidence. I'd make sure the little "crime lab dude" that always shows up would consider the special circumstances.
a. if dead man's saw is not a Stihl, case closed.
b. see if the dead man's saw would crank.
c. pull the muffler from the dead man's saw to determine piston and cylinder condition.
d. check the air filter of said saw.
e. look at the saw for evidence of overheating.
f. determine the condition of the saw's clutch.
g. see if the saw's chain is sharp at all.
h. determine if the saw is in warranty or close to warantee expiration.
3. Determine if the lovely spouse of the dead person was recently on the premises.
4. Determine if any aggrevatings factor were in play.
a. brylcreem on the dead person's body.
b. was the dead person an "Elvis hater".
c. look for spilled Folgers in the shop.
d. make sure Miss Demi is intact (bring a rape kit "crime lab dude").
e. check for evidence of recent "low ball" activity on the part of the dead man.
Now, weight the evidence collected are make a list of suspects.
Hope that helps,
Joat
