A venerable old English gentleman with whom I apprenticed years ago had a
saying regarding mysterious parts of dubious origin found laying about.
"DON"T THROW THAT OUT!!!........It'll always come in handy........even if we
never use it." (this from the man who bragged of having the same hammer
for close to 40 years. He'd changed the handle four times and the head only
twice.)
Much to my wife's chagrin, I have lived by that philosophy ever since.
