Deer.

Stop infringing on deer habitat.

Human activity has increased deer habitat enormously. They are to be
found in downtown Des Moines including on the Capitol lawn. One broke
into a downtown shop and did fifty grand worth of damage. Vermin. I am
for killing half or two thirds of them as soon as possible. One cost
me a car and had the nerve to get away. In Iowa you get to keep a
roadkilled deer as sort of a consolation prize. I have seen as many as
eight crossing my lawn enroute to fruit tree and garden damage.

Too stupid to figure it out yourself?

Although it takes a little background knowledge, most of the
components that go bad are well known by the techs who repair stuff
for a living. Piggybacking on their knowledge makes diagnosing and
repairing lots easier. Having to measure voltages off of a solder
point on a printed circuit board would probably be the point at which
I'd turn it over to a real tech.

In that case I got lucky and the part was cheap. It's not always the
case...

Correct. If you are going to give something to the NRA, I'm sure they
would appreciate something of value.
