bunger;

   Monson, Mass.  Rt. 32 runs thru Monson, just above Stafford Springs, CT.

   am retired from Pratt & Whitney, E. Hartford after 28 1/2 years of almost
   80 mile round trip.
   they were going to send me to Southington for a year.  no way, way too far
   to travel as I got older.

Wow, 28 years of I91 twice a day. That's a hell of a commute.
I'm lucky I work 1.2 miles from home.

   bunger,  I took rt 84 from Tolland, CT

   sometimes I would start on 84 and jump on 83 for a change of scenery.
   and come home the back way.

   I called my driving time my "thinking time"

   but the winters were not the best,  leave for work in the dark, return in the dark.

Grew up in Montville, we used to drive to the Stop and Shop in Willamantic when I was a child, about 45 drive every week but fond memories.
Always looking for what interests me, anything early Dodge Brothers/Graham Brothers trucks ( pre 1932 or so ) and slant six / Super six parts.

Very similar pliers are sold nowadays as orthodontic loop-forming pliers; also as jeweler's loop-forming pliers. (Search ebay for 'orthodontic pliers loop')
