One of those days - It pays to read the manual

[Yarome]

Anyone ever have one of those days where you think you're being clever but it just goes much harder than it should, and wonder what bad juju karma is putting back on you.....

...then you have this crazy idea, "I wonder what the manual says?"... only to discover you're trying to reinvent the wheel?
There is already a procedure and specifications listed to mfg a special tool specifically for what you are trying to accomplish!!

When I'm setting up new HVAC gear I still peruse the included manual even if I'm VERY familiar with the specimens because sometimes there's almost always revisions as a product line continues.


RTFM!!

I haven't bought a new gun for quite a while, at least not one that has much of a manual.
I'll read one if I have it, mostly for entertainment. I'm always amazed at all of the "Safety Warnings." It is a gun, fer God's sake!

The manual for my car is a book! I've opened it a couple of times, but only when I want to know something specific...

Yeah. In my own defense... the manual's 436 pages. Something is bound to be overlooked.

Of course, I don't remember what I ate for dinner so.... there's that, too.
