I'm a Missionary!!
OH MY HEAD!! One of the sewing machines came missing a set screw for the belt driven wheel of the box the machine sets in. Remember, these are treadle machines. So when you work the foot peddle the wheel turns on a shaft. The set screw threads in the wheel hub and a smooth extended end inserts into the shaft connecting the two. So with out the set screw the machine no worky :( Sooooooo I started thinkin. I went to the warehouse on the base and found a bolt with the proper threads in an assortment of odds and ends. I used a wheel grinder to roughly form it. When it didn't work I wasn't surprised because it looked bad. So today I told Lowell about it and I said if I only had a dremel tool I could fix it. Guess what...THEY HAVE ONE! Guess what...IT WORKS!!!! By the Grace of GOD the set screw will LIVE!!! AHHHH HA HA HA!! AHHHHHHHHH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA ha haaaaaaaaaaaa. So the Sewing machine is set to go to El Callejon where it will be used mightily :)

Hmm, come to think of it, Jedis would make good missionaries, what with their talk of the Force and all. Moving things with your mind would probably come in handy there with so much manual labor to do.
