bottom line --
don't get to mad at these little ones
who wish to take things apart...

ride that thing MM

That was me when I was a kid. Pulling power equipment and electronics out of the trash and taking it apart to see what made it tick.

Unfortunately my kid did not inherit that gene. He's almost 12 and hasn't disassembled an engine, power tool, or even a flashlight. But it may not be too late........

I was also one of those children. Had an incident with capacitive discharge while taking apart a 21in TV. Thought the tools were well insulated but the loss of memory for the event "waking up" on the floor with the tool across the room proved that wrong. Fun times. Good thing the ticker is strong.
