I guess its all perspective. My take was that old grandmothers were so wise
that you had better know your stuff if you were going to try to tell them
anything or they'd show up your lack of knowledge.

All the jack springs I've replaced have been glued in.  Often, the glue
pulls out with the spring.

Otherwise, I pull out as much of the spring as possible, put a drop of
water on the glue (and leftover wire, often), and go on to the next.  By
the time I come back to it, the glue has softened, and I do a quick turn 
about the hole with a flat screwdriver blade to get out the wire and glue
(and go on to the next).  By the time I've finished 'em all and come back
again, it's dried out enough to put in a drop of fresh glue and a new 
spring.

Maybe I'm just too accustomed to working on less-than-pristine PSOs....

Dang, this quote manages to insult the intelligence of both women AND the
elderly, all in one fell swoop.  The Albert sure was an efficient guy.  Or
maybe it's all relative..........  (Or maybe he was only insulting his own 
relatives.)

Hi Annie,

Here's another for you from ol' Albert, maybe it's not as insulting?

 

Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour. Sit
