Ooops, I threw a strange shortcut into my previous response to you, which means I left something out as I did an edit down from all of the stuff I wrote. The "he" I was talking about was my older brother. When we were kids, he was always building something, playing with his wires & he'd put me to work finding parts, which I loved to do, cuz he'd put up with my clueless questions.
Thanks. I wondered about that. I just thought it natural "scatterbrain" writing, like what I do. LOL
