Hi Kim,

The corollary to that is "It doesn't *have* to be repaired properly to make it work".

That sentiment has justified a lot of jury-rigging in my day.... And it kept me from being stranded more than a few times. The hard part is to remember to put things back to normal once you get home so they

don't get worse.

Happy trails,

Greg Potts Toronto, Ontario, Canada
