My apologies, through various reasons I've been delayed with starting this month's TOTM.
But I will be setting up the December's Christmas special this evening, UK time.
Again, my apologies, as I now have to load up my car with tools etc for my five hour drive home.

How many tools do you take when you visit your girlfriend? Doesn't the wife get suspicious? You take your time mate - was in a good cause

I was going to make a crude tool joke but this is a family friendly forum. Mostly.

I'd like to know more about these said "tools"!
Then again, maybe not?!
Cheers,
Eric.
P.S. I didn't even know it's already December!

Now “gimp” is an old word. I actually looked it up. My tool is not gimp yet.

Mainly plastering, plumbing, decorating and carpentry tools, plus a host of other tools and materials.

Yes. Came around far too quickly.

Speaking of specialty tools, I had a toolbox full of tools that I used most often including a few seldom used but very handy tools and some had belonged to my grandfather. Some piece of sh#t crack head burglar reached into my garage window and stole my toolbox.

They probably sold the lot for enough to get sack of dope. I live in the country and never imagined being robbed like that. It’s not so much the cost but it’s the loss of grandpa’s tools that hurts me to this day.
Keep your stuff locked up folks!

Way too clever Estnische! When Pulp Fiction came out my friend told me how awesome it was, he neglected to tell me about that scene though! I'll never get that image out of my mind! Poor Ving Rhames!

OK, so all fairly benign and not much fun to be had. Sounds like real work was done.

Thieves!

I'd love for them to meet my dogs! The dog's could hold them at bay while I ponder what I should do with them.

My Grandfather had signs up all around his property that read:
No Trespassing!
No Hunting, No Fishing, No Trapping, No Nothing!
This Means You!
Trespassers Will Be Shot!
Survivors Shot Again!
Family Members Will Be Prosecuted!
And he meant it! Back then it was still "Old School" as far as justice in the woods of Wisconsin was concerned.
Cheers,
Eric.

Unfortunately our Pet Of The Month. . . . Oops, wrong forum, our um, model of the month of May doesn't appear to have any pictures. I have messaged EddyK to see if he can share any.
Therefore I shall now give him 24 hours to hopefully produce some.
Fingers crossed.
