Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

I totally understand the not being that good at it.

I'm a automation engineer, I work with computers....so fixing things is something I'm getting better at.

I've had some help over the years, mostly in the encouragement to give it a go. I have some memorable moments, such as my father-in-law helping to fix a scotia that wasn't quite the right shape. He looks at me and says "I think I can fix that with my chainsaw", then proceeds to shape the wood using his chainsaw to fit perfectly in the slot, will less than a mm of tolerance.
