Getting Old

  

As many of you may already know,  I recently remarried May of 2013. I'm still in a transition phase of what to keep and what I need to toss out. I was going through a box of items and found some things that I haven't seen for about 12 years.

 

What I found was my Popular Science 20 in 1 shop guide. I still remember receiving the free gift  with my one year subscription. It had everything you  could need in order to get the job done.

 

In fact here is a picture of it:

 

 

 
I was telling some of the guys in the warehouse about getting this and many of the younger men had never heard of Popular Science. Wow, did I feel old all of a sudden. Getting this "tool" was the "cats pajamas" in my day. Oh well, I suppose times have changed.

 

In our daily work we all need special guides and tools just like the one I had many years ago.

 

Healthmark offers a tool to help you measure the various diameters of your cleaning brushes.  In our case you do not have to buy anything, just ask for it.

 

For the record, I have kept this treasure from the past and it now proudly hangs from my work bench.  Now I just need to decide my next project so it can be put back in to use.

Tip of the Week

 

Make sure you use the correct size brush for cleaning because if you do not your medical device might not get clean.
