7 years of growth and development

I would like to take a moment to let everyone know that I am very ecstatic to learn that we have a little one on the way.  We took the time (7 years-start date 08/14/2005) to get to know each other, how to push each other's buttons and to simply figure out what the hell we were doing with our lives.  I am still trying to adjust to my new title of "dad" or "daddy".  In the mean time, I want to send a message to my biggest supporters over the past several years.

Here we go...

Makita tools, I would formally like to announce that I will no longer be contributing to your lofty profit margins and spending endless hours figuring out which tool I am going to buy next. Despite the power of your impact drivers and hammer drills, you are no match for what is in store for me.  You are probably more cost effective, especially in the event of our little Duck being... a little girl.

DeWalt and Porter Cable, although your ergonomic engineering has made my life easier and my frustrations less likely, I am trading you in for something that has been engineered out of love and inevitably going to create turmoil and test my patience over time.

KREG, Jorgensen and Bosch your precision tools, clamps and machining capabilities have challenged me to indulge in more advanced projects.  They have made me realize that I am capable of developing my skills beyond my imagination.  Like all the aforementioned, you simply cannot provide me with the tools to hone in the life project that we are planning for.

Grizzly, unless your tools come with college fund reward points...please, please stop sending me your nicely organized, hardback catalog.

My deepest regrets,
Jon Spryn
"Soon-to-be Dad"
