    The trick is to bring in whatever busted piece you have and find the exact match. Nobody’s gonna think you’re shoplifting rusted garbage and usually you can knock out your purchase in just one trip.

    If your project/fix is too complicated to bring in the busted piece, may God have mercy on your soul.

      time to get good at projecting your project visually on the ceiling like beth harmon in the queen’s gambit.
