Jim, are you telling us the fishing is so bad, you do a little crocheting
while you're waiting for a bite?

Re: [BlindHandyMan] changed fuse wire?

2010-04-15 Thread Tom Fowle
Maybe it is used in  cars in fusable links where I'd not have run into it.

In electronics at our level of experience, and in home wiring,
fuses come in various cartridges; which I'm sure you know of too.

Thanks
Tom

 What is fuse wire?
 
 Only thing I know called fuse wire is almost solder used in some weird 
 equipment
 as fuses.
 What I've seen wouldn't be springy.

I'd like to have the old kind where you can replace the wire,
much easier to see if a fuse is bad although it could be sticky unplugging 
the holder if the wire is exposed.

Not that screw in fuses are hard to test or anything.

no up its never that bad grin but my girl friend might do that.

one day i was griping about how hard it was to put a line through a swivel in a 
bouncing boat and Linda said hey will a small crochet hook help?
so i tried it and wow does it work well especially on those limp braided lines.
just poke the hook through the eye and hook on to the line pull it back through 
and there it is.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] needle threaders

2010-04-15 Thread clifford
Thanks for the tip.  I bought four little threaders today, and I believe my 
secretary called them quilting tools, but they are extremely light, and one 
broke with my simply handling it.  
I am off tomorrow to fetch a new tackle box, as my 40 year old big box is 
simply past its prime.  It only had a twenty year warrantee, so I suppose I 
have gotten my money's worth out of it.

Yours Truly,

Clifford Wilson
