Mr. Fixit.....

Readers would die of old age if I listed them all.

Off the cuff, I fixed my sons friend's Ninja Turtle toy by tapping the plastic with a 10-32 and putting a button head bolt in as an elbow pivot. Worked sweet. This was when he was 4 and offered to this kid at his daycare "my dad can fix that". I told him to discontinue offering my services.

Same son had a favorite toy he call "Big Jeep" and he played with that thing all day every day when he was 3. My parents got it at the Dollar Store, made of the thinnest, cheapest, most brittle plastic the world had ever seen. I glued, screwed, installed wood blocks, built gussets from aluminum to keep Big Jeep alive. Sadly a wheel finally broke off and I called it. We had a going away party for it as it went into the trash can. Long live Big Jeep, wherever it is.
