How to break your health

Hey all. Apologies for the dry spell... Got very sick after my last trip to New Orleans. It's a motto of ours here at HtBS
that one can only abuse a machine as much as one takes care of it, and
apparently that's true of the human body as well. So, as always, equal
parts safety with your stupidity.

The trip was good, I learned a lot that will make its way here, from a quick-and-dirty set of methods for checking a building's structural integrity (definitely not comprehensive or foolproof) to inventive ways to repair engines with epoxy--all stuff that I can't wait to share. But bare with me as I recuperate.
Keep your tools and wits sharp, and I assure you, in due time, more stuff will be broken.
