Heh heh, that sounds familiar. The things didn't quite always go back together

I remember at one place I lived there was sort of an unofficial dumping ground
for old cars, TVs, washing machines etc. a couple of miles down the road
amongst some woodland - lots of times friends and I used to cycle down there
with whatever tools we could borrow and just take stuff apart....
My parents
could never give me anything mechanical or
electrical without having me take it to pieces.
That was my childhood as well - I tore apart many telephones, radios,
and televisions growing up. I also remember when my Dad gave me a
toolbox and a sewing machine - that thing took 2 days to dismantle.
Lots of tiny screws and springs. Electronic stuff was more
fascinating, so here I am.
I suppose I always had about an equal respect for mechanical and electronic
devices (which in a way is a little annoying - it's hard to make a career out
of this sort of thing when you're right in the middle and don't have a natural
interest to any one area)
