Been there, done that a few times in my youth. Even looks like the same tree and street!

What is an H.T. option?

Yesterday I fixed the broken toilet cleaning brush. Had to put a Helicoil in the handle where the threads had stripped. Why? lol. Because I could I guess, and I did not feel like driving 10 miles to the dollar store and waiting in the checkout line to get another one that would break eventually...

"WHAT IS YOUR SKILL SET WORTH?" Every dollar of my hourly billing rate.

All of the above! One week after my 60th, I had a heart attack (just cashed my first pension cheque). Fortunately, it was caught early and required angio-plasti and stents. I'll second the regular colonoscopy as well.
