And I especially want to thank Hamerfan for the excellent and very well-chosen musical selections. The pieces chosen really suited the topic and the surrounding posts.

It takes a village to put out a decent weekend....I have gone from sulking to resignation. Machinery hates me, that's why I gave up engineering. I couldn't coax the stuff to work, and felt that most stuff needed bludgeoning with a hammer.

Of course, now that I think of it, most stuff probably DOES need bludgeoning with a hammer, because it was designed to fail...like the washing machine (7 years old) made by GE....
