Not at all. ICS, still in business in the UK, was and is quite respectable.
Thanks for that, John. I appreciate the correction.

Mostly clothes showed up under the tree this time, which I needed. I continue to wake up each morning and am able to plant my feet on the floor and stand up. That's the best gift of all.

A friend of mine said something to me that really stuck:

"Every day I get to open up two presents: my eyes".

I got to go shopping at 7 Rivers Surplus and came home with a bunch of goodies.

Hi Steve. I just did a "tour" of Seven Rivers Surplus remotely. I spent a lot of time looking at their inventory going back to 2015. Man that is a great place. I saw they have or will be expanding with another building. They really have it down, they know and know how to organize a gillion pieces. Thanks for the link! Wilton vises, Subaru engines, gearmotors, electrical everything...
