I have to blog about this before John does!
I went to the eviiiillllll Wal Mart this morning. I needed to pick up some storage boxes and a couple of new pillows and a cordless drill.
So, I found a Black and Decker 12 Volt Cordless Drill for about $39.00 and I bought it.
It had a really tough thing keeping the handles shut that I had to cut open - the only thing I had handy was a nail clipper. But it worked. I opened the case that the drill came in and put the nail clipper down (in the case, I was not paying attention).
I picked up the charger and the nail clipper had somehow managed to get itself around the cord to the charger of the 'cordless' drill.
I picked it up and for some unknown reason, I clamped down on the handles.
Of course, now the cordless drill now has a cordless battery charger.
Dumb, dumb, dumb.
I figure the best I can do is go and buy a different black and decker 12 volt cordless tool and let John open it - then we will have one charger that will work for both.
Damn. damn. damn.

Well, the drill didn't come with *bits* or anything, so, I think I still RULE!

At least it wasn't your hand.

Just take it back to Walmart and tell them it was that way when you opened the box...

I'm too honest, no way I could lie.
I cut the cord too close to the transformer to fix it, I'm afraid. So I went out and bought a charger that will charge all different voltages of the firestorm line.
Dumb, dumb, dumb.
