[papercreters] Re: Sewage Grinder Pump - PC Mixer/Pump

It's a little expensive for my tastes too.

Of course, that grinder/pump probably costs pocket change compared to

That Vortex video still makes me sit up and
exclaim, "whooooyeaaaaaaaah".

Oh Yeah... What can I say? I'm a guy that loves POWER TOOLS!

I don't grunt and thump my chest as much as I used to, but hey... as
a guy gets older... I gotta save that for times when it really
matters. Like jumping up and touching a low hanging sign in a
hardware store... Yeah, a real man will stick his chest out with
pride after doing that!

works well to take a long link and make it managable.
