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.
