Frustrating Day of DIY

[Greg Montalbano]

Hmmm-- sort of like my baby cockatiel Grace, who pretty much lives on my
shoulder -- until it's time to use the logic probe or the soldering iron;
in which case she can't WAIT to climb down to my wrist, shout instructions
at me & try to bite every wire in whatever unit I'm working on.  (A-and at
least a cat won't usually fit INSIDE a synth the way she can ...)
