I realized today that I'm actually a relatively handy guy. I was mowing my neighbor's lawn today, as he's asked me to begin doing it for him (John: 1, Szabo Lawn Crew: 0), and the twine on my edger fed too much, wrapped itself around the shaft, and partially melted to the plastic casing (fuck!). I just took it home, disassembled the spool, took apart the rotating parts with some pliars and a wrench, pried out all the superheated plastic junk, blew the thing out with a compressor, lubricated it, rewound the spool, put it all back together, and it worked better than when my dad had put it together all with knots in the fucking stuff. So, like, go me.
