I love this, Jeff, and re-read it 3 times. It in itself is an owner's manual or guide to taking initiative. I'll use it in my new job. Ace Hardware in Wrightstown, WI. Thank you!

I've had similar experiences with machines with which I was unfamiliar and there was a long and steep learning curve. Nicely described journey to familiarity. Terrific photos!

I really had to chuckle at your comment that competency is no in the manual After sailing Lake Superior for almost 40 years, I can attest to the school of hard knocks. We had lots of books, took courses but mostly learned on the water. Come what may... Every year we left the dock at Duluth and set sail, we asked ourselves "what would break this year, what would we learn this year?"

A good way to learn, and really, if we would just admit it, almost the only way. -- Jeff
