I'm with you. I have a "can do" "fix-it" mentality. Plus, often you're able
to fix it into a better than new condition. Never to die again. I would
much rather fix something than buy another one.

There is another dimention to this. I have no problem affording new
hardware but it will cost me 1/2 day to drive into town and find it. If
I can fix it myself I save that time, and if it was a rust problem I put
on anti-sieze so it won't be rusted next time.
