I was in a harbor freight last Saturday killing time and wished my dad was there. He is still alive, but with advanced dementia to the point where taking him out in public, away from familiar surroundings would be a mistake, but I was wishing I could have him there, browsing the cheap tools like he loved to do.
He always loved harbor freight, especially the "sales", and I would really like to get him on a good day, take him in there, and let him pic out some cheap tool set or something, just to give us one last sense on normalcy. I think he always liked buying the tools more than the project itself- something about the potential of owning a porta-power tool, even if he never used it to it's full potential, just having it around opened up a world of possibility.
I doubt his wife would let him do it, and even I doubt it would be wise at this point, but I wish we could do it. I might run it by her, although it probably wouldn't be feasible. Wouldn't hurt to ask.
