...und too late schmart."

So says the old saying. For approximately forever I've painted nuts and washers hung on wires, each wire with a hook at the top and a few loops to hold individual pieces. To fit them in the oven for baking, I've been limited to five or six pieces per wire.
This morning it finally dawned on me that there's a faster, easier way to hang them.

I vish I vas as schmart 20 years ago as I dink I yam today.

We all have those lightbulb moments Steve. Age has nothing to do with it.

Charlie - I tend to think of that in reverse:

"I vish I is as shmart today as I 'taut I vas 20 years ago!"

Well done!

The difference between "Knowledge" and "Wisdom".
"Knowledge" is having facts, information, and skills acquired through experience or education.
"Wisdom" is having the "knowledge" to not make the same mistake again.

Oops. That was off topic.
Funny how our brains work tho. All of a sudden, we have it. By George, I think he's got it! (English accent required)
On the other hand, when I was working I was talking to a younger fellow and was babbling what little German I knew and he stepped back a skoche and thought for a moment. He said, My Grandma said "Make the light out." Mach das licht ous. (shut the light off). I think I spelled it right!

Why do you paint nuts that should be plated?

Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit....Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

Duey...you were close! It's spelled "aus". Sehr gut!!

Which are supposed to be plated? Plated with what? Where can I find this information?

What year? Most all of that stuff was raven finished in later years. Some of it was brass plated in early years. Depends on the application.

Steve: Do you degrease and etch those cadmium plated items before painting? I find without doing this the paint looks good but is very fragile. jb

Thanks, Steve.
