Thump it good and it works.

Today John was finishing up the trim work around the till. He finally pulled the miter saw out of the basement. The one that I gave him for christmas 3 years ago. It was STILL in the box. I saw him standing near the door and asked if it was going to be hard to use. He turned to look at me as said, "Yes, if I can't get it to start!" I think my heart stopped and all the times I had said he needed to check to make sure it worked came to mind! I know it was upsetting him, and so I kept trying to keep all my thoughts to myself.

After lunch, he had gone outside and all of the sudden I heard the saw fire up. I was so excited!! I ran outside and asked what he had done. He turned to me and said he punched it. He thought if it was not going to work, a good punch could NOT hurt it. All I can say, is thank GOD! I doubt that he will NOT check to see if something works when he first gets it. How was your saturday? TIll next time...
