Mexicans are so awesome! They can fix a bus motor with a piece of string and repair a damaged fuse box with a paperclip. My goal is to be Mexican someday.

I'm not good at this but my husband - an engineer - does it all the time....makes life interesting.

And, I've used a quarter...not a good one, and broke a string in the process, but when you need to hammer out some rhythm, you do whatz you gotz to do.

Back in his younger years and unbeknownst to me, my creative husband used a LAWN MOWER BLADE to keep the muffler from rattling (it was loose in the bracket, so he just jimmied it between the muffler and the bracket and called the problem solved.) Sometime later, I pulled into a muffler shop to have it repaired because I knew there had been an issue. I almost died as I watched the car hoisted up off the ground. Yeah. The muffler guy walks over and heaves and pries out the lawn blade. I made the most of it! I went home and told my husband there had been a horrendous wreck behind me on the interstate. It appeared that a lawn mower blade had somehow been thrown up off the road and hit a car, blowing the car's tire and making the driver swerve and flip into another car. I went on about how terrible the wreck was and how upsetting it was to watch. I had gone back and helped with the victims while we waited on the ambulance. He believed me. Then I handed him the lawnmower blade that the Meinke man had found ....while I smirked! So, that's my rigged up story! Oh, I’ve got one.

It sucked. I highly discourage the use of it if possible. I used one of those plastic square bread bag ties as a pick one time. It sucked. I highly discourage the use of it if possible.
