I knew that there had to be a reason for the price reduction. Not tempting at 
all. Not many MB Dizzels show up in town.

Agreed.  I only wish I had been as skilled when I was younger.  I would have 
saved myself a lot of grief.

That tends to work it’s way out of your system when you get older. I have fewer 
snapped bolts, less under-smoked shoulder and vastly better clay barred cars 
thank ever before now that I have some birthdays under my belt.

[MBZ] Verschlimmbessern

2017-12-15 Thread clay monroe via Mercedes 
Fully describes how things go when I pick up a wrench.

This came to me while the wee massage wench was working me over this afternoon. 
 The gal is VERY patient and pretty precise in ministering to muscles.  Perfect 
application for pulled pork and many other actions.  Low and Slow, where I am 
prone to strong arming things and needing things to happen NOW!  The plethora 
of snapped bolts will attest to this.

IT means “to make things worse by trying to make them better”.  

Anybody else have a talent for this?
