Timothy got a portable tool bench from Santa . . . he loves it! He is also into all of Dad's tools, especially the screwdrivers (can't find a one when I really need one). Lots of other fun stuff, too, not only from Santa but family as well! Posted by Picasa

Timo the Tool Man!!! That's awesome man!! I bet you'll be very handy around the house helping Dad and Sossa.

Timo, here's a neat bit (no pun intended with the tool reference) that you can share with your dad:

Q: Why is a Phillips screwdriver is called "Phillips", where does that name come from?

A: According to the Phillips Screw Company, it says in 1920, manufacturers needed a more efficient screw driving design to speed up production. Inventor JP Thompson came up with that new design. In 1933 Thompson shared his idea with Henry Phillips, and the Phillips Screw Company was formed in 1934.

In 1937 , General Motors used the Phillips screws in its Cadillacs, and by the mid-1940's, all car companies were using Phillips screws. In 1966 the last patent on Phillips screws expired, and the name became generic.

And now you know the rest of the ... Love ya big guy!!! -uncle dondo
