I cannot believe that if this were true some silly entrepeneur would be trying to manufacture and sell crossthread fasteners. LOL

You haven’t been paying attention. They’ve been making Metric thread shit for years.

Whadda ya mean? Why would I buy metric shit to work on my old 1936
Ford, unless you believe cross threading is the way to go. LOL I know we are just having a little fun with this. No harm in that.

34fordy.... I've used a plastic squeeze bottle with a 180 degree bent tube like what they use in hospitals with good luck.
You can buy them on Amazon for just a few bucks.

I married my squeeze 60 years ago and she’s never been cheap.

Ya know, we both came from familes with food on the table and a warm place to sleep, but none of the extras, so to speak. We just had a reception at the church with cake and ice cream. I doubt that cost anything as the church ladies provided the labor. My gal made the brides maid dresses and paid for her own wedding dress possibly around $50. June 6th, 1965 and went on our overnight honeymoon driving my 1964 blue Fairlane 289 4 speed that I bought for $1875 and my 55 Chevy 283 4 speed. We have yet to have a car that new. 2 new Harleys but the most money ever spent on a car was 21K, until a couple weeks ago. An that one is older than me by a bunch and not even on the road for a while. Can you imagine a beautiful girl that in 61 years has never questioned my hobby! I do remember that she was sad when I sold that Fairlane and bought another 55 Chevy because I did not like car payments. Our 61 years have been WONDERFUL !!

This is our third marriage for both of us. Our first was in a church, the Captain of a Park Service boat married us on our 25th, and an Elvis look-alike tied us up again on our 50th. We haven't made any firm decisions about our 75th anniversary yet.

Since we are going way off topic (What was the topic? I've forgotten). I am a fan of the NYT Sudokus. The only problem with them is you can only access today's puzzles.

I found a site that has the NYT easy, medium and hard sudokus. I will add a link. If you look carefully at the address in the link it has a date and the word hard.

Once you click on the link you can then edit the date to any date in the last couple of years. I've been doing a lot of these and just work my backwards and forwards because even if I have done it before I have forgotten when I try it again.

Here is the link for todays hard NYT Sudoku:

https://sudokupad.app/nyt/20260605hard

It's free and you don't need to sign up for anything. I've been using it for at least a year with no problems.

I use it on my desktop. I think it would work on other devices too.

Mart.
