RW> LOL! I do that with my CNC mill programming. The controller is so stupid,
RW> that it CRS and I have to continually re-edit it to make it work
RW> properly.

Got to hate when machines have a mind of their own.  :)

RW> That was a mistake. You know that what you buy isn't going to fit in that
RW> car. Kinda like my 3rd gen Camaro; the new roll-away I needed at a job
RW> site didn't fit unless I left the lid open. When I quit that job, I had
RW> my
RW> SIL pick it up and bring it home for me in his pickup.

I really didn't think they would have any generators left.  I was very lucky,
since they rolled about 12 of them on a pallet to the front of the store -
just as I walked in the door.  Very lucky, to say the least.  All 12 of them
sold in about 20 minutes.  I had to run to get a flat-bed before they were
gone.

RW> That reminds me of the Buick Engine I carried home in the trunk of my 52
RW> Chevy. The damned car was so low under the weight of that engine that it
RW> scrapped bottom going over a set of RR tracks. That punctured a hole in
RW> the gas tank, which I plugged up with a wad of chewing gum.

Never done a repair with chewing gum, but have used the epoxy compound to stop
some leaks in the past. :) 

RW> It's great that you wife has that ability. Most women don't. OTH, I ran
RW> into a 40+yo woman here in Texas who had a traffic accident and repaired
RW> the damage herself. She R&Rd the whole front end of her car, painted it
RW> and with the exception of the still missing bow-tie, it looked as good as
RW> before.

True.  My wife is better on the design aspects that I am.  She is also good at
building things.  I'm more on the electrical and painting side of things.  My
engineering is more technical vs. design.
