He could have figured the walkie talkies were your loss, since you now
couldn't use them. But to play with his tools, now that was personal. Lou

Before the walkie talkie disassemble, when I was about four I
found his tape measure. I could not figure it out how it worked,

so I took it apart by removing the four phillips screws that held the
case together. big mistake !

I was lucky and I almost poked my eye out when the spring
released from the case and hit me in the face!

No way could I put it all back in the case so I just shoved all
of it inside the toolbox and replaced the lock (easy to open with a bobby
pin).

About a week later when he opened up that toolbox is when I got my butt
whipped
!

So I guess the om cut me little slack with the walkie talikes.

That's nothing. I got a better story..

Dad bought a pair of walkie talkies back in 1964 when I was 5 yr old,
I found the soldering iron (always watched him fix the tv sets for
people)

and removed every part on the pc board from one of the wt !

When he got home, I thought he would whip my butt but instead
he gave me a big pat on the head and was proud of my work !

Personally, I'd have been a little miffed to say the least, but it's
great for you that you had a relationship like that with your father.
