How difficult is a dishwasher installation?

You think you got problems, mine even affects my quotes.

There are some technological assists available:

- Get a pair of bifocal safety glasses. You'll be able to see moderately close again while protecting your eyes.

- For closer work yet, headband-mounted binocular visor magnifiers are nice.

- For illumination, get a battery-powered light that straps onto your forehead, commonly sold in camping/outdoors stores. The good ones use 1 W or more LEDs and are very bright.

At age 50+, I find that I can do really fine work *better* now than I could when I was young - because I now own a few illuminated magnifiers and a stereo microscope that I lacked when young.

WalMart has one these days in gift wrap for $4. Three brightness settings with 2/4/8 LEDs. 3 AAA batteries. I liked it enough to buy a spare and I might give a few as minor gifts. Found it on a display of various gift- wrapped things like mini-toolkits, wallets, etc.

Hmmm, At 67, I still work on guitar amps for my kid and his friends, just repaired furnace logic control board for a friend's gas furnace. Lots of soldering and dealing with small electronics parts. That head band mounted magnifier is very handy when I R&R IC chips. And once a week I play in local concert band with my euphonium. I can still read my music without wearing glasses.

How long is the head strap that comes with it? I wear an 8 1/4 size hat. Try finding a hardhat in that size sometime....:^(

I suppose at that price I can dig out the sewing kit and make a longer strap.

aem sends....

Last time I measured, I wore an 8-5/8. I had to extend the middle (top) strap to its maximum length, but it fits reasonably well.

Say what you like, nobody on Usenet ever denied I have a big head.
