But, a buddy of mine picked up a perfectly good digital camera (a bit older admittedly) for FIVE BUCKS. Found a battery for it and used it for many years. Sometimes I'm given the warning, "Just throw this out! Don't try to fix it!" Which usually means the new one is either better or less annoying to use, but most of the time I'll at least take a shot at fixing something before giving it the deep six.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03523653271715366168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7589339935152891167.post-4930599280936057532018-04-10T02:53:22.418-07:002018-04-10T02:53:22.418-07:00Amazing what you can do to fix things with just a ...Amazing what you can do to fix things with just a few minutes of your time, good find.<br />our awesome travelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13031755671050584629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7589339935152891167.post-80303477801930442982018-04-09T19:31:08.384-07:002018-04-09T19:31:08.384-07:00That is a familiar story around this house--the Co...That is a familiar story around this house--the Cowboy will try to fix anything! We bought a nice used coffee maker at a yard sale--it leaked water everywhere--the Cowboy searched YouTube finding a video which showed him what was most probably wrong--the fill hose, a special high heat hose--was probably shot. Yep, coffee maker works like a charm now.

Seems she has the bench out by the curb for waiting for her kids to come home from school and was not tossing it at all. He was a little embarrassed. Not much, but a little. joehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08520161706680568508noreply@blogger.com
