They had either lost or stripped a large, castellated nut needed to match the end of a large threaded rod that was drilled for a cotter pin. They were crying, screaming and throwing themselves on the ground in agony and desperation (at least that is how I like to portray them in my otherwise authentic stories). I quietly walked back into the confines of my crowded, cluttered garaged, fished through my disorganized bucket of old bolts and fittings, and returned with the exact matching nut in my hand. My friend gasped and fainted dead on the drive and his son reached out with trembling hands and tears streaming down his face, gently took that nut from my hand, and got his knees and said, “Thank you, Master.” At least that’s how I like to remember it…..</p></blockquote><p></p>
