The furler is broke
I must go forward to fix
I hope I don't drown
What size fasteners
Michael will know, he knows all
I will call him now.
To the radio
Foxxfyre this is Tainted Love
How are you doing?
I am fine Michael
I have a question for you
Do you know Harken?
I need to find screws
for the damn furling torque tube
What size go in there?
The screws that you seek
10-32 by quarter
Three will suit your needs.
I do not have those
What else might work do you think?
How about duct tape?
Duct Tape will not do;
tap the hole 1/4-20
and use what you have.
Drill the hole with care
The material is thin
Use lots of lube please.
I always hear that
You and the gerbils agree
What is with my life?
The drill bit to use
is 13/64
Do you have one there?
Time to scare Michael
I do not have a drill here
what else can I do?
On the radio
Ken Roper sends "Get it done!"
I guess I should go.
Armed with the duct tape
and some screws that are wrong
I head forward now.
The screws are too small
Oh crap! What will I do now?
Wrap the tape around them.
Jam them in the holes
Cut the threads into the tape.
I hope this will work.
Success with the first
now I must try the second
Damn it! I dropped it!
Into the ocean
the little screw has fallen
I must be careful.
Now I have two left
tape the screw to the driver
and try to finish.
Wow the screws are in
wrap them with tape and I'm done
Time to go back aft.
