Th3_uN1Qu3: I am always impressed when people fix things on their own, so bravo!!

Just for what it's worth: I am an amateur radio operator, and we are taught by other amateur radio operators to fix things for ourselves-- nowadays, that means learning how to solder, not like the old days where we might have to read schematics to build a whole radio from the start!

I still love to fix things myself, because I spare the expense of having other people fix things for me.
