Flat washers

[Stormin Mormon]

Just used a bunch of flat washers on a job, yesterday. Reminds me how the simple things in life are so important.

And at the price of washers, sometimes you would be just as far ahead to drill a hole in a nickle, dime, or quarter to get the right size -

Wow...why don't you just tell us an incoherent dream that you had?

Sure it's not "LSD" instead?

[Adam Kubias]

Hear, hear!

[Stormin Mormon]

Astounding, someone knows the diff between homonyms hear and here.

What simple devices (other than correct spelling and punctuation) do you use?

[Stormin Mormon]

Later today maybe I'll use a couple self drilling sheet metal screws. The door panel on my drivers side door is not properly atached.

[Stormin Mormon]

Yes, and less likely to rust.

I worked at a factory one time, I heard of but wasn't involved in the action. The challenge was for the day shift to adhere a quarter on the cement floor near the time clock, and the night shift was challenged to remove it before day shift came back. They used various adhesives and what not, I thought it was a bit comical.

You mean the dream where everyone on Usenet is polite? That one?

Don't you know that is #121.5 use for duct tape!

Duct Tape, a hammer and ratchet set are involved in 99% of repair jobs I do. Not all at once, but at least one of the above.

[Malcom "Mal" Reynolds]

was that to wash flat clothes?

[Stormin Mormon]

I'd already used a ratchet, but not yet a hammer. Duct tape (or gorilla tape) would finish the job very nicely. I'm so glad you wrote.

Last night me and JH serviced the refrigerator. We cleaned the condenser and unclogged the defrost drain from the freezer using the long skinny brush I have for it and made good use of the small shop vac we have. The fridge runs better and there is no more water on the floor due to a clogged drain line. It was a simple but pain in the ass job and now my left knee has swelled to the size of my thigh because I was crawling around on the floor. At least the fridge is working properly. o_O

Braze the quarter to a pin - or a lag screw. Drill the concrete floor. Insert the pin or lag with hydraulic cement or epoxy. It will be there 'till it gets worn off.

Ratchet first - when that doesn't work, take the hammer to it - and then tape it back together with duct tape.

That, coming from you? The guy who uses the term "moaner" for any poor soul that ends in a.h.r from homeownershub through no fault of their own?

[micky]

Flat washers. The last of life for which the first was made.

[Stormin Mormon]

Braze to a cement sinker nail, and put it in with sledge hammer?

[Stormin Mormon]

Did you ever put a penny on the rail road tracks, and come back to find it rolled flat? I've done that. Wonder if it works with the new zinc pennies?
