Ha, I was using my POS 50' Chinese no name tape the other day and wondered what happened to my Starrett tape? Haven't seen it in years, think I may have lost it in a divorce. Please count me in.

Thank you, Henry! In my life, it is Go Starrett Or Go Home! We'll use your tape. My 1950s budget Lufkin 100' tape is difficult and uncooperative.

I have a carpenter friend who I am sure would put that to good use, thanks for the chance.

I'm in! I used to have one of these, but it grew feet several years ago. Actually, it already had feet, so I guess it grew legs. Most generous karma, thanks for posting it.

I'd like to be in on this karma please. Thank you. That's a nice American made tool.

"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.
