"So you see, it is old, well used, rugged, simple and reliable, and it will help me get more jobs done. I will use it regularly."

"I will never paint it, because it is... RUSTY.
I will think of him every time I use it.
This is my Rusty memorial."

What a profound realization!

...yes a tear. .....more than one ...and... a lump.

kinda freaked me out today when I glanced at the WHO'S ON OUR SITE NOW line and saw "Rusty....."

Of course, its a new and different "Rusty"
