Why? That new truck will be here before you know it.

Then you'll have to figure out how to pay for it.

I had the same problem back in the 90s. A guy couldn't buy a job.

In 2003 I retired and was relieved that I didn't have to find a job.

I had one just the other day. A friend of Patty's had a bathroom sink fixture that the handle kept falling off and glue wouldn't work. LOL

So I cleaned it up and screwed it back together and all is good.LOL

In that case might as well buy a new fixture because you couldn't get enough glue off of it to fix it right.
