Remembering an old friend with.... another old friend

   I almost fell out in my chair. The other 3 memes were funny too. 

Now, with the hilarity of it confirmed, there just a few more things I may or may not have small-medium collections of.

That's a lot of cool tape measures!

I have probably 7 or 8 overall, many strategically placed around the house to ensure that I never have one handy when I need it.

Thank you, Grant!
If it weren't for your fine tribute thread and question about measuring tapes, I would have not likely posted about tape measures. As Travis knew,  tape measures are an important part of some member's EDC.

Always in the depths of my right pocket along with lint, pennies, sand, etc etc. 2 1/2” blade on the little Damascus folder.

That is a beautiful measuring tape,  Fred! Nice to see someone else who EDC's a tape measure.

Four years already? Can't believe it's been so long.

I have, let's see, four tape measures? A 16 and 25 foot Lowe's brand I received as a set, a cheap, red plastic affair that was my first tape, and a 30 or 35 foot Stanley. I used to have a teensy 6 footer I used for work about a decade ago, but that $0.99 POS fell apart many moons ago. I mostly used it to measure the diameter of printer label spools, as I was horrible at eye balling it. The company I worked for at the time sold medical supplies. I would often be visiting hospitals and clinics, selling labels,  and bags, and ID bracelets. That thing was invaluable for product comparisons.
