I don't like that today's weather in Chicago is more like mid-March than early May. I wish it could be nice out for Mother's Day.

Our temperature here is below nornal for this time of year but 70 degrees and sunny is nice.

Why is it that all week I've been wearing long sleeved shirts to work, and the plant has been a sauna, but tonight I wear just a t-shirt and the place is colder than an icebox?

I love Murphy!

It takes a special level of mechanical skill to misalign an assembly held together with roll pins....

You neglected to say what the roll pin aligned. If the roll pin is the proper size then alignment should be correct since in most cases this is their function. A
to small or damaged pin can cause misalignment. A good Mechanic would have been aware of either case and would not have chanced a misalignment.

For the past month I have been trying to get several contractors to do some minor work for me. After an initial visit and price quote, we set up a time for the work to be done. Either they call and postpone or just don't show up at all and don't return phone calls.

I called a collection agency to get them to contact some of the businesses past due accounts. They never called me back.

Last night I had an appointment to meet with a realtor at a house I wanted to buy---the agent was a no show.

Doesn't anyone want to WORK?

I'd love to work, but am a bit far away for contractor work for you!

Simple answer-no. I know I don't!

Nawwww, It's EASY!
I remember a few "techs" at IBM who regularly screwed stuff up ...

1) Just REMOVE a few pins - allows wide "adjustments" to alignment.

2) Not "adjustable" enough --- pull out the B_H (Big Flippin Hammer)
. . and *speak* to the assembly ... all roll pins *BEND* (or break) - eventually.
