Sometimes I’m a little slow thinking of the best solution – I run through all the variations of standard things and buying parts first. Then suddenly a simple solution hits me and I wish I’d thought of that first! I love it when someone tells me something I didn’t know, where I can use the principle to solve a problem. For instance I asked the hardware guy why some battery connections corroded like crazy, and others not at all. He said there’s a coating on the connections that wears off. Just spray the connector with clear acrylic. I don’t have any of that, or see it very often, but it occurred to me it probably doesn’t have to be clear, and fingernail polish is acrylic. I have a couple of ancient bottles of that sitting around, so I’m going to try it. Bet it works. That same sort of thing has happened hundreds of times, and sometimes I’m the one with the bright solution that people are glad to hear about. For instance, for a blow sand driveway, if you rake some lime into it, a couple of inches deep, it’ll harden up the surface so you don’t make deep ruts or get stuck in it any more.
