Yup, that's for sure. I get more personal enjoyment out of simple stuff. Simple stuff like tinkering.
I fixed a worn switch in my 13" Clark buffer. That turned out well, so then I decided to look at a bad switch in my Delta drill press. I think I saved more then $60 repairing the two switches. I never knew electrical switches could be taken apart and repaired. Both of these switches can be opened up and tinkered with. In trying to fix them, I learned a lot. Simple? ......maybe not to everyone, but I like this kinda thing. It's not rocket science. The reward wasn't so much about the $$$ as it was the satisfaction of doing it and learning that it was actually possible to fix/refurbish a worn switch. Both are as good as new and the fix was done with 600 and 2000 grit sandpaper.
Watching a good sunset is good too as is rolling over a rock to see what's under it.

One tip for sanding contacts in switches I learned at the mill. Many times the contacts are worn and the copper is showing after light sanding. Use the face of a dime to lightly rub on the contact. Make sure you keep the dime flat with the contact. You will see the copper get covered with silver after a while. Fixed many three-phase electrical starters doing this.

I remember back when my stepdad would sand the points on our car with a dollar bill. Just suck the bill between the points and pulled back and forth. Kept the car running so I guess it worked.

That's because back when you were a kid, dollar bills were still made of stone.

I noticed the last jellyfish cartoon was directly below the International Woman's Day. Hmm...

By the way, what day is International Men's Day?

 

[Nick]

Fathers Day ..

 

[havasu]

Probably not during Black History Month, I presume?

I've been called a mother, but never a father.
