Caveat: can it be fixed?

I spent way too much time this morning trying to fix my coffee maker. I feel like maybe my role at the gift shop, this past year, as “Jared can fix anything,” is spilling over to my home life.

One of two little plastic pegs had broken off inside my coffee maker. The pegs support the hot plate that is at the bottom of the unit.

And the household supply of superglue was superannuated and entirely solidified – not useful.

So I improvised. I made some wooden shims which I attached with well-folded strips of duct tape.

It seems to work.

    are you sure you weren’t born in Oklahoma? we always “try” to fix everything at one point or another. before duct tape, we used baling wire. always carried baling wire and pair of pliers in the pickup truck. in this new era, Dean’s favorite method is “gorilla glue”. major problem – tends to dry out after using one time. some how we need to fix that!!
