Work Smarter not Harder

This has been said many times and bears repeating. When you disassemble components take pictures, put fasteners in a marked bag or punch into cardboard in the pattern they were removed. If you disconnect wiring take a pic or draw a diagram. This will save hours of hassle, agony, time in the blazing sun, it may even promote world peace. Do not rely on your memory over the course of a 2 day repair, unless it is much better than my middle aged one. I am going to have a cold glass of tea and a shower.

As I always have said, I'd rather have a short pencil than a long memory.
Nothing beats a full memory card in a camera.

Scott,

And wait till you get to your retirement age!!!!!! You won't even remember where you placed your notes or camera you had an hour ago. Lastly, don't for get to take your vitamin pills and other medication.

I'm there at 41. As to the glass of tea... after misplacing a critical note or pic the only tea I desire is Long Island.
