The SF Tool Lending Center is CLOSED for several MONTHS!!!

The San Francisco Tool Lending Center is currently transitioning to a new location and is not open to the public. We anticipate this transition to take several months. Sorry for any inconvenience and we thank you for your continued support. Please check this website for any updates.

What if I have a tool-lending emergency? I was going to borrow some stuff to dig out that tree root, plant my garden, and repair the concrete. Oh yeah, in addition to posting it on my door, the city also sent me the 30 day notice by certified mail. I guess they're not kidding. Maybe if I sent Pacific Gas & Electric a certified letter they would finally hook up my neighbor's new service line instead of continuing to feed off mine. We've been waiting since August 8. They have promised to come out "next week" several times. Six months later and we're still waiting. This city is really fcked up about some things.

I can't seem to buy a break these days. Which may be just as well since I probably couldn't afford it anyway, haha.

p.s. -- Also closed now for renovation is the Steinhart Aquarium at the California Academy of Sciences. It reopens March 31. Figures.

Oh well, I'm heading over there for the neighborhood free day today anyway. I was checking out the differences between the SF City Pass vs. the 7-day passport vs. the weekly MUNI pass (don't ask, I need a spreadsheet to compare all the nuances) to see if any of them would be worth it for (e:Matthew) to use on the days Paul will be at the conference and I might be at work. Anyway, that's when I stumbled on the neighborhood free days schedule. 94102 baby! Just in the nick of time.
