I have an easier way. I call the office and have them send someone to my apartment to unclog it. Works like a champ. 👍 When I was a home owner and that happened I always wished I was rich and could just sell the place and move into a new house with no clogged pipes. My menagerie of tools did include a plumbing snake though.

My father always had Buicks. They made some good engines and according to him the old Dynaflow Transmission was unbreakable. Heavens knows he tried. He'd buy a new Buick and the first thing he would do is put the car in reverse and floor it, slam on the brakes and simultaneously before it stopped moving shift to Drive, let off the brake as he floored it again. He said if it survive that, it would survive any regular driving he would do. They did. Then they dropped the Dynaflow and stopped making their own engines and after having a couple of Oldsmobile's (1964/F85 was one of them, in fact the one I used to get my drivers license) and a Pontiac he bought something he said he never would. He bought a Ford product. Two Mercury Grand Marquis in a row. The last one was literally the last one before he passed.

Yea, that tranny was garbage, and IIRC, they stopped production of it before the ‘78 models came out.

There are a variety of tools also to tighten something loose like a screw on the coffee pot. A screwdriver will work but if in a pinch just use a butter knife.

I've also found that paper clips can be used for multiple purposes, only one of which is to hold papers together. Open out a paper clip, and it's like a multi-tool ! :joyfull:

Paper clips can work holding up a Christmas ornament on a tree and also if your kid is crying and locked themselves in the bathroom, a paper clip when stretched out can perhaps fit into the little hole in the door to unlock the door.
