And at the price of washers, sometimes you would be just as far ahead
to drill a hole in a nickle, dime, or quarter to get the right size -

Yes, and less likely to rust.

I worked at a factory one time, I heard of but wasn't
involved in the action. The challenge was for the day
shift to adhere a quarter on the cement floor near the
time clock, and the night shift was challenged to
remove it before day shift came back. They used various
adhesives and what not, I thought it was a bit comical.

Did you ever put a penny on the rail road
tracks, and come back to find it rolled
flat? I've done that. Wonder if it works
with the new zinc pennies?

In Chicago us kids would use street cars. They ran more often.

Were those silver WWII pennies zinc too? Can't recall. Can't recall if we
tried the street car on those either.

Another trick with railroad tracks...

My son tells me that if you take a metal pole and lay it across the tracks
close to a railroad crossing, the gates will come down. I've never
witnessed it, but he said he did it a couple times when he was a teenager
hanging out with some friends that live way out in the country.

Braze the quarter to a pin - or a lag screw. Drill the concrete
floor. Insert the pin or lag with hydraulic cement or epoxy. It will
be there 'till it gets worn off.

You don't even need to go that far . 5 minute epoxy works just swell .
Until that cocksucker that sweeps up the floor uses your best wood chisel to
get it up .

Braze to a cement sinker nail, and put it in

Somewhere in my tools I had a gasket punch set that I would use to make
circular washers out of heavy duty gasket material for things like
faucets. Dang, I'm missing so many tools. o_O

"to drill a hole in a nickle, dime, or quarter to get the right size - "


I used to have about 100 big black plastic washers. 7 inches diameter, with about a 1 1/4 inch hole through them.


I think they're buried in my cellar someplace...

Duct Tape, a hammer and ratchet set are involved in 99% of repair jobs I
do. Not all at once, but at least one of the above.

Ratchet first - when that doesn't work, take the hammer to it - and
then tape it back together with duct tape.

I'd already used a ratchet, but not yet a hammer.
Duct tape (or gorilla tape) would finish the job
very nicely. I'm so glad you wrote.

Last night me and JH serviced the refrigerator. We cleaned the condenser
and unclogged the defrost drain from the freezer using the long skinny
brush I have for it and made good use of the small shop vac
we have. The fridge runs better and there is no more water on the floor
due to a clogged drain line. It was a simple but pain in the ass job and
now my left knee has swelled to the size of my thigh because I was
crawling around on the floor. At least the fridge is working properly. o_O

I've worked on a lot of refrig. Dirty condensor
causes the compressor to change note, sometimes
they really sound angry when they are over heated.

I've been known to clear defrost drains with turkey
baster and hot water. Suck up the melted ice with
the same turkey baster, and put the melt in a separate
container.

I'm still paying a high price for such a simple thing as cleaning the
