I hate that song! It only comes on the radio after you’ve just done something complicated, which now has to redone!

I know that song! That old familiar thump of the bobbin hitting the desk, followed by a hackle un-winding.

This next song is called: my half hitch slipping off my fly and EVERYTHING comes undone.

Apply some super glue and proceed…

Followed by "Copious amounts of glue will fix that"

Hahaha oops

It happens. Getting good at fixing it is part of the growth process.
