Lately, the tightest thing I do while working on a steam engine is, when I'm doing a tear down.
You have the right wrench and it fits perfect but it's not coming loose. So I'll add a little
more force, and a little more, and all the time I'm thinking, please don't break, oh please don't
break. Every time I add a little more force, my butt gets tighter. I'm talking tight. It gets so
tight, that if I was setting in a coal bin that was half full, and you handed me a wrench and
a steam engine.
I'd be popping out diamonds left and right. I could probably put a big dent in DeBeers profit
margin that month.
Oh I'm sorry, was that too much information. ::)
