I realize that "Building Stairs" could be a great metaphore, but I'm really just building stairs. Thankfully, there are so many standards in the builing trades that you don't really have to think too hard. I thought I was gonna get to use my skills in trigonometry when I started building the handrail. I thought, "OK, the steps are 10.5" long and 6.5" tall, so the inverse tan of (6.5/10.5) is about 31.8 degrees." I got out my protractor and started marking out my cuts for the hand rails when I saw all these notches on the adjustments for my circular saw and my compound mitre saw. "By golly, that angle is already marked on the saw!" I think I actually sounded like Jim Nabors when I said it. Has anybody else noticed that Mike Huckabee looks exactly like Jim Nabors? Most people don't like trig, but I love it. I really wanted to get good use of it. I use it every dang day in school, but somehow the good folks at Dewalt robbed me of a good chance to use it in real life! Oh well.

By golly, you're right! And congratulations on the 90!
Maybe you can go work for Dewalt.
Your handle might be limp, your replies ain't!

Ok, I have no idea what I'm talking about. Where's picture of the stairs? It isn't there.
