I'm a maintenance guy. i fix stuff. Its what I do.
The wife knows better by now. Her Dad was the one in the peanut gallery last night. "Why dont you go get a new one". Wife was explaining to him (incorrectly) what I was doing to fix it.
For me to not fix something its gotta be in pieces, and looking pretty hopeless. Of course even then you never know... (reference Duster thread below) LOL
