I went by there today to spend my rewards points that finally hit my account.

I've long had the heaviest tow chain with hooks you can get (14' long and 5,400# working load), and while there have been times I've used every bit of it (I once extracted a gravel delivery truck from being stuck in the mud) there are many times that it's been "too much." It's too heavy and it's too long for most of the stuff I've been using it for. So I picked up a much lighter "daily use" chain (10' long and 3,160# working load.)

While I was there, I grabbed some high-load quick links, a double clevis connector, and a 3,600# hook with a clevis pin to make it all work with the boom pole, and to use with the chains to make things more convenient. Some of the stuff will serve dual purpose to quick-attach my boom pole and a ratchet hoist I've had kicking around from a long-ago yard sale. I also bought a pair of Carhartt pigskin gloves that were on clearance.

I guess their promotion worked. I signed up for their credit card, bought a boom pole to qualify for the reward points, and have already spent the points (and more) on all the stuff I got today. It's okay. I quit drinking in 1990 and am still using the "I would have spent the money on beer and had nothing to show for it" excuse. That one will never wear out...and I know I have yet to outspend my beer savings.

Right on, John! Very well played!
