I finally figured out why my tube expansions were always a bit off
I was showing a new guy how to roll tubes in a boiler at the plant, and he asked why I always started from the top. I realized I'd been doing it upside down for three years because my old foreman just pointed and grunted. Anyone else pick up a weird habit from a mentor that turned out to be totally backwards?
My old car had a check engine light on for its last 40,000 miles. I just learned to live with the little orange friend on the dash. It got me where I needed to go, wrong way and all.
