JIS screwdriver who knew?
Well after 55 years of life and an unknown number of striped phillips head screws on stereo stuff and other stuff I have tinkered with, a Marantz stereo repair friend clued me into the unknown JIS screw which looks like a phillips head screw. Turns out you can tighten either one with a JIS screw driver without stripping off the edges of the head of the screw, but not so with the phillips. I just bought two of these screw drivers and am amazed at the tight fit now that I know what I didn't know!
Here is a pretty cool diagram that show what I'm talking about. JIS stands for Japanese Industrial Standard.

My wife told me the kitten needs to be chipped. I had only a 9 iron but I still got it over the shed.
