They don’t make lawyers like they used to.
Seriously though, there was a school of optometrists who pushed certain tints as a help for dyslexia, BMM being one such tint. It’s hogwash, but some believe it.

Oh crud. Must have been shortly after I left. Last time I saw him he stopped by the tire shop at Costco to yell Bella! Bella! at me. He will be missed. I'm sad. I used to help a friend work on his refrigeration. Of course he would feed us and laughs were inevitable.
Everything can be fixed with pliers and a hammer.The best guys are the ones that know how to properly use duct tape and/or super glue to solve 80% of repair problems
(so I don't have to)
Back in the day, (fifties/early-sixties) Dad had a buddy he worked with at Convair. This guy Norm. Norm invented WD 40. Dad had buckets of the stuff and used it on everything. To this day, the smell of it triggers childhood memories of Dad tinkering in the garage.
I think that the Sherriff and Interpol may be looking for you...

I figured that one might make you smile. It certainly made a couple dyslexic friends of mine smile. One of them is now a lawyer. She really liked it.

I dunno. As an actual Appalachian, I'm a little disappointed that the latch lines up that well. And that both parts are matched together properly. The screws are a nice touch, but their heads should be stripped and one should be a double headed nail. Just saying.Case latch repair shenanigans!

Add safety wire. That's good for everything that duct tape and epoxy can't handle.The best guys are the ones that know how to properly use duct tape and/or super glue to solve 80% of repair problems

Put me in the ‘no idea’ camp lol. Google translate also let me down this time
I don’t think so. My Dad was on the missile side developing the Atlas and testing them at Sycamore Canyon. I hardly knew what he did; it was all high security stuff. Only lately has he told stories about the Convair days and his later years at Vandenberg. One of his crazy stories is about how during the Cuban missile crisis, they scrambled to turn some of the test stands at Sycamore into launch capable pads “just in case.”
wow, awesome story...the Atlas was a honking ICBM....good thing it only got used to put Mercury capsules in orbit...
That’s the way you do it.Case latch repair shenanigans!

Finally a pic of one famous and wise Canadian we can all admire. Good pic of PillO.
She was on several programs back then even a game show if I recall correctly. Which I may not.... Difficult to miss her when on one of those programs.....
That's not me, that's Uncle Red.
