Senior Chief Petty Officer. Starfleet is in my blood, and I’ve spent my entire adult life in service to boldly going.

Keiko and Molly are my favorite humans, but Transporter Room 3 will always be my favorite.

Just don’t ask who what’s in the pattern buffer.

  • I mean, half of my hammers have had their handles remade with whatever hardwood was closest. So I’m gonna go with those.

    However, the most complex thing that I can repair with sourced parts would be either my truck, or my truck. I’ve had to fix it with “close enough” parts before, and I will fix it until the frame rusts (which given Northern states and salted roads probably won’t be more than a few more years)

    There’s a smattering of electronics that I’ve seen mentioned multiple times as well.

    One thing that is theoretically repairable, but is hard to find parts for, my washing machine. It’s a old 50s model with a lever to engage the motor, a roller on top to squeeze water out, and a simple steel gear system to drive everything. I should be able to open it up with a crescent wrench and flat head screwdriver, but I doubt I will ever be able to find ready-made parts (I have looked briefly when I thought I had a problem with it that sorted itself) but I might be able to bodge some things together if needed.

    You ask a bunch of questions about a task in order to convince the client that the task doesn’t need to be done at all.

    I ask a bunch of questions because I’ve forgotten half the answers already and am trying to make enough stick that I can make something close enough they don’t notice my attention is wandering while they blather.

    We are not the same.





  • To anyone who doesn’t want to watch videos, it’s a reference to “Beauty and The Beast”, specifically the intro where the entire town sings a song containing lines such as "look there she goes that girl is so peculiar, " “yes she’s strange, no question” and “what a puzzle to the rest of us is Belle” (her name) the whole time she is walking around town, well within hearing distance.
