    Took days finding the tube-shaped insertion devices, to replace connectors on my box truck tail gate. Big PITA.

    Molex, TE connectivity, Cannon, Amphenol. All have their good and bad points But try having an inventory of kits for re[pair or making up jumpers for them is like trying to determine how many shades of blond, brunette, and red hair there are in the world.
    Never try to tell me it can't be done
    When I have to paint I use KBS products

    Yep. The WALTCO gate uses Weatherpack, tools interchange with Molex and Delphi. Made us feel awful sophisticated, I'd have rather a sealed project box and spade connectors, or terminal strip.

    There was a company selling anti hot wire ignition plugs. They were backwired Cannon type, male side on your key ring. Some had all the positions look connected in a full loom, but only 5 or 6 really energized. No thief had time or test light to circumvent the potential combinations.

    Got the hair colors in the wrong order...brunette (darker the better), common brunette, red, blonde dead last. But still ahead of green, pink, purple, phony black, yellow, fire red or paper white.

    We have this kind of cute young lady working at out local grocery store who I don't think she knows what her birth skin color was any more let alone her hair color. Somehow she pulls off the skin tone and color changes in a way that only a person with her personality can do successfully. I lived in South Louisiana for a while so I can pretty much spot someone of genuine Creo ethnicity, except when she takes on that pale Noreastern pallor her accent almost perfectly mimics that of someone from Maine. She is quite good at it and I think she is wasting a great talent not doing either stand up or being in front of a camera

    Agreed, I've no time for clickbait, look alikes, or manufactured billboard females. But I was spoiled, always seemed plenty of naturals around and available.
    "Ten Foot Pole", has more meaning now than ever..
    I know marksbug will comment that!
