My wife, just a couple of weeks ago, paid me one of the biggest compliments ever. She told her friend that I was a cross between Fred G. Sanford and MacGyver. I don't think she meant it as a compliment though.
My latest, best hack was a fix for a broken Meteor drop target. After supergluing it a couple of times and having it last for a month or two, I noticed that one of my extra Fireball2 targets was exactly the same shape and size as the original, except for the little ledge where it sits before it gets dropped. I took one of those things that hold wire bundles to the backbox and cut a little strip and superglued it to the FB2 target to make the little ledge. It works beauty; drops and resets smoothly like the original. Once I remove the paint and apply the R decal I have, it'll be beauty. Right now it sits just a tad lower than the others because I cut the add-on piece a bit short, but once I open it up again, I can fix that too.
Love this thread.
