Here's one that is still enjoying fix'in & repairing things and have been for most of my life.
I was well schooled, licensed, certified, protected and insured.
It's a whole new world today in that, there are a ton of lawyers out there just waiting to slap some poor unsuspecting fixer upper with a lawsuit should anything go wrong.
How should I say this...
Not intending to wake up a sleeping monster, over here...
Sometimes it's easier to just chuck it, and buy a new one.

Forever a gearhead,
Terry
