Door bell rings time after time this month from unceasing door-to-door cold-sales guys persistently trying to convince me that I need to replace my house's windows.

Years ago I learned that a very good friend of mine could no longer be a recording studio guitarist because MS had robbed him of dexterity and feeling in his fingers.

"More bitchen' model kits for my stash!" is what my brain screams every time new kits that I like get released and become available.

I don't have this patch or know where to get one. A friend e-mailed me this picture after I had ranted about ANOTHER YouToob video by a "self trained" dirt floor shade tree "mechanic" that actually knew nothing of what he was attempting to "fix".
