I had asked him to help me do a bit of troubleshooting, he helped with that quite well. Then he had a couple holey tshirts he wanted to darn using the machine. I thought I could have done a fine job by hand, so I told him if he wanted to do it on the machine, he was welcome to. One was a particular shade of purple that we ended up buying matching thread for, and one was black. I'd had some blue-indigo thread on there, that worked for several of the projects I've been working on lately.

Instead of using an empty bobbin for the purple thread, and the black bobbin that I already had, he layered purple and black thread on top of the blue.

And while he has many admirable virtues, I want to throw more things at him now than I do when he sings the theme from Gilligan's Island in the style of Bob Dylan.
