While helping my son repair some steps to his deck and drilling some
3/8 holes through the stringers yesterday, my Makita 18v LI drill
crapped the bed. Plenty of battery, but it wouldn't drive the bit. I
love that drill. So this morning I drove 30 miles to the Makita
service center to see if I somehow busted the clutch. Turns out I
must have knocked the top as the speed control was in neutral. Since
confession is good for the soul, I never even knew the damn thing had
selectable speeds :-)

Reminds me of that age old question, "What's the difference between an
Oriental and an Occidential"?

Answer:

An Occidential learns from his mistakes while an Oriental learns from
the mistakes of others, it's cheaper.
