Salvage

Today, new thing, I saved a pair of scissors from the trash. See, I've had this pair of scissors for, oh... a long time, maybe 10 years or so. It's a really good handy pair of scissors. Recently the handle of it broke and I was holding on to it for awhile because they served me well and I didn't want to put them in the garbage just yet. I can get sentimental. The handle was still hanging on, but overall they were definitely broken. Anyway today I needed some scissors and picked these up, and decided to just fix them rather than throw them out or leave them broken in a pile.

So TGFDT - Thank Goodness For Duct Tape. I decided to cut a few strips and bandage it like a broken arm. After a few rounds, good as new. To think I almost just threw them out and was seriously thinking of getting a new pair. Also - these ones never get lost. They are great scissors and I am very glad I was able to patch it up. Once broken, now salvaged and back up to service.
