And it annoys the Queen Of The World because she is more organized than I (just like Miss D and you).<br /><br />I've gotten rid of maybe two thirds of my stuff, and that's not enough. But the movers are here, and the clock has run out.<br /><br />:-pBorepatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05029434172945099693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-80597252509458820192015-12-28T19:29:32.079-06:002015-12-28T19:29:32.079-06:00Not that long ago, the School Sisters of Notre Dam...Not that long ago, the School Sisters of Notre Dame nuns were each issued a footlocker (about the size of US Army issue.) ALL they owned had to fit inside it. Not an ounce more. That vow of poverty actually meant something then.Dad29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08554276286736923821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-51526071359973998672015-12-28T12:27:55.354-06:002015-12-28T12:27:55.354-06:00My grandfather recommended moving once a year to k...My grandfather recommended moving once a year to keep the clutter down.

Tighten down the chuck of the cordless drill on the shaft (add a length of the gun cleaning kit shaft to protect the threads on the brush) and give it a spin--literally. I've been able to retract a bronze brush that did something similar back when I was utterly unorganized and kept everything together in a drawer.<br /><br />If it went in threaded side first, there's going to be a lot of cussing and pulling with pliers, and likely a useless bronze brush when all is said and done, so expect to be throwing it away after that.Shrimpnoreply@blogger.com
