They required all dealerships to have a degree torque wrench setup - because it was more accurate and solved the head bolt breakage problem they were having.

Your confusion between appropriate units for measuring a physical quantity and it’s correlation to some pictographs on some gage designed for high school drop outs offer some sad testimony concerning how little you profited from any education you might have had.

Keep flapping those lips.

Maybe somebody will be impressed.

Won't be me.

Refrigerator - nobody does. Simply replace. Although I did make aluminum handles for ours when the plastic broke.


Laptop - obsolete before it breaks.

Stove - not much to fix. Have replaced elements.

Garage door - i had to cut the one in my shop down - as they sent the wrong width and I wasn't waiting 3 weeks for a new one when I built the shop.

House (painting, drywall, lighting, electrical, etc.) Yup. Plus painting, roofing (steel) plumbing, battery bank and inverter, wood stove, propane heaters, ect, ect.

Television - nobody does. Simply replace. I did install the 35 ft folding base antenna tower and rotor.

Clocks. What goes wrong?

Phone - wired the Tracphone home phone (cell base)
Shoes ... Seriously?
Clothing ... I made my ghilli suit.
Microwave. Really?
Coffee maker - toss old. Buy new.

Lawn mower. I built a tow behind for the John Deere rider - giving it a 6 1/2 cutting swath. Used for two seasons - still works perfectly.

I mean, if you want to live a life where you work on everything you own, then cool. More power to you. To me, if you're at the point where you're doing all of your own repairs/maintenance on everything listed above, you might as well go live in the woods and live off the land. Personally, even though I know how to change my oil, I'd rather go pay the $20-40 to have someone else do it. My time is more valuable than that $20-40, as I'd rather spend that 30 - 45 minutes reading a good book in the waiting area or making phone calls or checking emails.

Different strokes.

Making shit work is satisfying as hell.

It's the difference of having a girlfriend - or paying a "pro" to do it for you.


Different strokes indeed...
