The Christmas Tree stand broke. I guess 8 years is good service for a painted stamped sheet steel part that was stored outside in the rain, but this is the last year for this tree stand. I took it as a personal challenge to make it work (which also kept me from having to step out to buy another stand at 22:00) and, three hours later, the tree is steady in that stand. Please nobody bump it though, just in case. As I was upside-down under the tree with a c-clamp trying to make it work, my Darling Wife asked me
DW: What are you doing right now?
VFD: Trying not to cuss out loud.
P.S. spray-on cooking pan nonstick stuff (read: Pam) dissolves pine sap without stinking you up like something more solvent-ish can.
