Re: yeah, I would have torched mine!

Make no mistake, the Box of wood matches was talking to me...and I've got a thing for firey redheads... I nearly succumbed to her (fire engine?) siren song. Frankly, I took enough reckless chances that if it didn't catch fire, it wasn't meant to.

Still, I am a complete idiot for not calling the insurance on this one. I've got a decent sized deductible, wanted to keep my claim history clean, and like the car enough not to cut and run...yet. Foolish really.

Hey nothin wrong with that! More people need to be well rounded such as yourself. I'm sure as an

engineer, you would be stifled doing the same problem solving year after year! Its nice to do it when its "fun". By fun, I'm using that term loosely! But I do get some sort of a satisfaction out of a DIY job well done. Take that extra few thousand beans that you saved and buy yourself something nice! haha. Or the wife (whoever does the accounting).
