  • “You and I have memories, longer than the road that stretches out ahead” is such a simple yet powerful lyric that captures how I feel about my relationship with my wife. Knowing we have more time in the past then what is left for us in the future is both amazing and daunting. Realizing how many great memories we made through those years. All of that captured in one line of one of their lesser songs. But, if they aren’t your cup of tea, that’s cool too.



















    1. Strong down force with the appropriate screwdriver (looks like it started out as a Phillips head) while turning the driver with a wrench. You need a square shaft in your screwdriver or clamp with vice grips.

    2. Same, strong down force, but use a square driver ( Robertson screw). This can also be accompanied with a wrench.

    3. Drill it out. This is pretty much the last resort as you will use a drill bit about the same size as the threads which will pretty much take the head of the screw off as you drill into the threads. The threads probably won’t come out but you will at least be able to open the case. I have had very little luck with screw extractors and they probably don’t come that small.

    Strong down force is the main thing I have found to work when breaking loose pesky screws. Pushing down hard enough to prevent the bit from skipping to the next slot
