Yesterday, when I picked up the folks to return their old iPhones, Dad found these tin snips laying in flower bed by the billiards room. They were full of rust, and looked pretty bleak.
Today, I used a wire brush to remove the loose rust, then soak them in naval jelly for an hour. A rinse, and some 3-in-1 oil brought them back to life.
Maybe there’s a metaphor in that story. Maybe I just wanted to play with chemicals. I’m not sure.
