[zzzzzzzzzzz....] OT: what to get with my Sears Gift Card?

[brianm at earendel.org (Brian McGarvey)]

Flks having just gone thru this purchasing a compressor soap opera. Here's 
my take on it. Get one of the stand alone units you plug into the wall 
(110vac) HD has a nice 30+ gal one. It has the regulator and everything 
built in. it stands in the corner, and is portable. FWIW I have a 220VAC 
60 Gal single stage. (oh get the cast iron compressor warms a cold garage 
nicely. :-))
