Good with Tools, Repairs Finished.

Earlier post I had problems with my Sewing Machine...took it yesterday to a place  that cleans and repairs and it had CLOSED UP.      OUT OF BUSINESS.
So I unloaded it, brought it to the kitchen, where there is some good light and took it apart.



I lost my Manual in a flood a few years back, so I ordered one off Ebay.. It came as a CD Rom.
I just printed it off as my computer is in another room and I need directions in front of me to remember. 

Yesterday when we were out I purchased  a Can of COMPRESSED GAS DUSTER to remove dust from my computer fan. And guess what I had to show and ID and answer questions. Seems this is something people buy to Sniff and get high !!!  I was about in shock. ALL I want to do is clean, not smell anything and not be high.  It took a lot of dust out of this project.


I used  Q-tips, soft micro fabrag, the air can and put it back together. Put in a new needle and it is working.  Saved $50.  So I am back in business.  In high school I ranked #1 in mechanical A.C.T. tests, I out ranked all our guys. Thanks goes to my dad. always letting me experiment and never afraid to show me how things were put together. He never had much patience, so you had to do it right the first time.  I honestly believe I had more tools when 6 yrs ago I married my husband who repairs farm machinery, but mine are one a smaller scale.

So never be afraid to experiment. Take charge and "GET ER DONE"  Did you know Larry the Cable Guy has a program on the History Channel?  Here on Tues nights 8PM  CDT. He visits lots of places across the USA..last night was NASA, Wis. Dells, Las Vegas. It is quite interesting.

Have a great inventive day.

I just love that you are not afraid to jump in with both feet. I have no fear.....but also have no talent! It is usually a disaster, when I do this! I'm proud of you!
