Can't seem to get any pictures posted from my iPhone. Not smart enough. Going to have the repair made, fish plate, etc. May have to give up my TC in favor of pulling something.

No need to give up your TC. Get the repair done, and go camping.

Unfortunately, too many couch engineers posted the "sky is falling" on this thread. There is nothing about the frame break that is not everyday repair for those that have the experience. Notice I did not say education. Engineering is great, but caution should be made. It is tough to trump years of experience. We also need to keep in mind, engineering degrees are very specific. To my knowledge, there is no engineering degree that covers every subject. Worth noting, this also applies to PHDs. I have a substantial education, but I hesitate in posting on subjects I have very little experience or education. If I do, I do state it is only an opinion.

I think it was Will Rodgers that once sad,; "There is no one dumber than an educated man, when you take him away from the subject he was educated in."

This post is not directed toward anyone in-particular, and is not intended as a Flame. I do think it is worthy of thought. I enjoy various forums to increase my knowledge base. I really get disappointed by couch engineers or post made just to have something to say.

You may be correct... but it is still a flame of course.

If one of us wrote it you would remove the post with an admonishment about flameing... and rightly so.

Is looking at all possible solutions or even all sides to the questions a bad thing?

I learn new things almost everyday... many of them right here. There is a lot of experience here, and a lot of educated people too.... many self educated. It would be a shame to want educated people to be embarressed because of it.

I think we need all of those very sharp people that have left the forum to return.... hardly a day goes by that we don't need the bigfootfords to guide our electronic projects... he has patiently taught me most of what I know and discuss on here... but he does it much better.

There are others that refuse to post...

My favorite old saying:

"Them that can does, them that can't teach!"

Thank you for moderating...

Sleepy... good night!
