Afterthought Edit:
When I started driving at 16, my dad gave me a little red Craftsman box for my (then) meager tool collection to keep in my trunk for roadside issues. I kept it in every car I've ever owned and it served me well for many years.
A couple months back I walked up to my work bench and saw a little tool box in 'exploded view' blasted to bare metal. I asked Billy where it came from ... he proudly proclaimed that it was mine and that he thought I might like to redo it since the stickers were all faded and the paint was flaking off. "That Flag Red you've got will look great!"
Truth be told, it upset me that he'd do such a thing as a surprise without asking me first. Nice and shiny and new looking is all fine and good ... but that media blasting wiped out a whole bunch of memories. I still can't make up my mind how I feel about it, and it's still laying in the back of the blast cabinet waiting for me to decide.
