MOTM

i get two of the cats to hold a pair of bolts each, while the third watches
from a nearby shelf to help correct positioning.
however their solderingsucks...


so no need for threaded spacers here (it would only confuse furry minds -
and anyway, once they master the screw thread, next it'll be the wheel, and
before i know it they'll be tarting around with the video tuner and testing
nuclear weapons in the cellar)


cheers paulb
