Ask a kid to read a regular clock. All the classrooms have digital clocks on the wall. It's suprising how many of my daughters friends struggle to tell time from a regular clock.

Like ever thing else around here if I get more then two of something old somehow it turns into a collection. My wife says we are at the age that we need to start depleting alot of this crap.

BTW she's right because neither of our boys are interested in my junk anyway. Not at this time in either one of their lives. Maybe later on I hope.

What surprises me is that the ACLU is not fired up over it already. They got all knotted up over cellphone privacy and search warrants.

If Trump proposed doing exactly what they are already doing, people would be rioting and burning police cars again. Wait.... those were just protests.

you mean Peaceful protests by the poor victims of society

If it is not critical and just needs to be done fast, T-taps.
The solder and heat shrink tend to be a bit stiff
A really good crimp is rarely done right at home, but is my prefered method. But a bad crimp is my least prefered method. Any crimpers bought at an auto parts store will be in the bad crimp catagory.
Wire nuts are reserved for crappy Barret Jackson auction vehicles, or installing a new light fixture in the shop.

I believe the government requires crimping. At least from the secret service vehicles I have worked on/driven;)

So what I'm reading is that if you want to sell your vehicle for way to much at auction use wire nuts. If you want it for yourself use the good crimp tools. :)

I think since mine is diesel I have every govt agency watching me.
