Unlimited tool budget

I recently was awarded a new position at my job as a mechanic and the boss told me to order what ever tools I think I need to do my job, well I managed to hit just over 7k and he didnt batt an eye

he also mentioned that if in the future if I see that more tools are needed just to fill out a purchase order with all the info and he would get it done!!! WOW I am impressed . All these tools fit on a Johndeere gator so I am mobile to go anywhere on the jobsite.
I sure am having a hard time getting used to straight days monday thru Thursday though

I guess hard work does pay off eventually.

cheers, Kevin

Uhh, heh heh.. He said tools. heh heh..
