It's a good thing you posted here, buster. I saw your post in some other thread, and if you had snubbed us here I was all set to mercilessly defame, malign, and denigrate you . . . . . whatever all that means . . . or entails.
But at any rate . . . nevermind.

Whoa! Wait a minute. Your wife composes classical music, while you go play in the mud????
There's something incongruous with that picture.
Word has it you were done before you started.
A mysterious stranger told me.

Hey, you're the one who doesn't think he needs a torque wrench. It's guys like you who are digging Sears's grave. Now I go there all the time (there is a full service store only about a 1/2 mile from my house) AND I have a Sears torque wrench. I am too virtuous for my shirt.

I own three torque wrenches: a beam wrench from Sears for cranks and BB cups, a clicker from Sears for slightly smaller stuff and a small clicker from Italy for small torque on carbon bits.
Also got a handful of the small fixed clickers that I carry on the bike of doing adjustments.
I'm prepared for any torque emergency.

Totally unrelated question/inquiry:
Home desktop PC is 3 years old, running Windows 7, seems to work perfectly well. Used by kids for homework, internet, etc.
Any good reason to try to upgrade to 10? I am inclined to leave good enough alone for now, but am open to suggestions.
