I have no problem with that as long as I get to use my special vise grips with the 10' handles.

Katie, it is funny you say that. My nickname came from the days of my first computer. It was a Commodore 64 and I ended up with Jester on some early bulletin boards because Top Gun had just come out. Because of my first name it stuck.

I don't know Bull. That sounds more like a doctor's tool. Besides that I'm not that good working with really small objects.

Okay, since I admitted to the loose nuts I figured I would give a good explanation of why I didn't want to tighten them down too much. Obviously it was to keep from having to go to extreme measures to get them off like the guy in this article.

I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous.

Had to drive down to Salt Lake. The whole way I had this feeling I forgot something...

Got back and it hit me. there was something I needed to do.

Congratulations to the newest member of the Team -- our own "Lefty Loosey"

The article reminds me of why I left Washington State! (I really did leave of my own free will...).
