I have been on summer vacation for a few months and have not had anything in the shop. We spent most of the summer in Minnesota and a few weeks in Guatemala.
While we were in Guatemala I had an opportunity to fix something. We were walking to church on a Sunday morning and we noticed a very upset man trying to get the chain back on to the sprocket on his motorcycle. Luckily I have a small crescent wrench that I carry around in my pocket (doesn't everyone). With the wrench I was able to loosen the axle and get the chain back in place. The motorcycle rider was very happy, I didn't understand what he said to me in Spanish, but he had a smile on his face.
I am now back in Alaska and getting back to my "regular" work.
Somehow, fixing someone's grammar just isn't as cool. Thanks for posting, C.O.!
ReplyDeleteC.O. anyone make an offer for your 90 HP Honda outboard? This is Warren Rock
ReplyDeleteC.O. Do you carry a bigger wrench at home and a smaller one for traveling? What does the TSA think about carrying a wrench as a plane passenger?

The TSA rules say that you cannot have any "tools". I was stopped one time for having a small tape measure in my pocket.

I carry around "only" a swiss army knife (it flies cargo). But on the other hand McGiver could build a laser with it..
ReplyDeleteToo bad McGiver never used the built in scissors to give himself a decent haircut.
