My darling wife (SWMBO) is not quite as enthusiastic about my various collection disorders as I am but because we have a marriage forged in patience, tempered by time and honed in love I am afforded the liberty to continue my search for a cure for whatever Acquisition Disorder (AD) is bothering me at the time.

I remember seeing a massive automatic drop forge spitting out electrical socket covers at a phenomenal rate. Then the supervisor asked me if I wanted the job.
