    My sandbar is always open to visits. Especially to those who bring coolers.

    Would you settle for an autograph on your cooler an a signed can/bottle? I'm no publisher.

    If you take the time to print out all 32 pages of them, goats included I'll be happy to sign it/them.



    An thank you for the kind words!

    On topic...I'm sure the power method is the way to go about it. I enjoy the tinkering tho with the hand tools, an keeps me sharp. Now when I was still doing a decent amount of Tube tv's and monitors...drill was the best way. I live on a sandbar tho..as they say..Island time(sandbar in this case) is slower then everywhere else. That's my excuse at lest.

    Torx IP8 and Torx IP7 are what I found will take apart most hard drives. The outer shell screws are 8 and some of the platter retainer screws are 7. The non-IP torx bits are loose and strip the screws I have found. torx plus is a better fit.
