    You might be a logger if...

    You have ever fixed a wonky fuse by sticking one of them inline fuse holders in the hole so that it works but is still sorta safe. If you've ever used a marlin spike to line up the holes on a belly pan. patched a tire with carpet and bailing wire. Welded a fuel tank, in the mud while it was...
