@ChazzC Thanks for showing off your collection
Found two micrometer boxes, one, a Centech from HF, and my Digimatic from Mitutoyo, and both had wrenches. Since I had the Centech one in my hand, I tried it and set the zero. Took two tries, but it is set now. Hooray. That deserves a drink...
One of my mom's last wishes, was that we drink up the last of the Drambuie, that my dad had brought home from NewFoundland ages ago. Why was that a last wish? I don't know. But here I am with a shot glass of Drambuie, slowly fulfilling that wish. Seems weirdly appropriate after fixing my dad's micrometer, that I found by chance in his desk last week.
@mmcmdl when are you fixing yours? In the scheme of things, that wasn't very hard at all. I happen to know, you aren't lacking the wrenches.
