Manly Man Stuff

Internet connections here have been very touch n' go lately, more go than touch, I'd say.
So I started thinking about a suspicious frayed bit of cable I'd noticed on the back of the house.
On closer inspection it was very frayed and frankly the rest of the cable line was embarrassed for it.
So I cracked out the handy orange tool box and did a bit of splicing, using some of the 17 billion bits of electronic crap I've allowed to accumulate in the garage. Never let anyone tell you to throw that stuff away.
As I connected the final bit, I heard whoops of joy coming from the direction of Sue's office window.
Her cable TV was working well again.
Upon returning to my office I found a steady internet connection, positively surging with megabytes.
Bits of electrical energy were arcing across my office and spelling "Bob" in the air.
All is well in TV and internet land, and the testosterone is flowing pretty freely.
Now Sue tells me another light has gone out on her car and the lawn needs mowing.
The work never ends for a manly man's man of a man.
