1970....................I like your quote: torque it down til it breaks off, then back it off 1/4 turn. That sounds like something my boss would try! He doesnt even own a torque wrench! HAHA! Good one

And add to the list:
- Would never bring a knife to a gun fight.
- Believe a girl friend when they say forever.
- Take back or have any thing to do with my exe,(would rather pour gas over myself and strike a match than to go through that again).

Glad you like it! When I was a professional mechanic many years ago, a fellow mechanic kept saying that. So it lives on in his honor. (Nice way for saying I stole it)

I had a friend back in my college days who was in the Aviation Tech school. His version was "Crank it 'til it smokes, then back it off a quarter-turn."

My version is, crank it down as tight as you can get it, then give her one more turn!

I don't hit women, I don't hire foreigners or feed my dog from the dinner table. I don't buy anything over the phone. I don't park so close to another vehicle that I ding their door. I don't leave the house or come home without giving my wife a kiss.

I posted about that once, and got a response to the effect that, if I could see the condition of some of the planes that skydivers use, I'd want to jump out of it too.
