that, in my mind, is one of the most excellent mind sets I've heard lately 
hi hi.
When you have a quantity of antennas, feed lines, jumpers and many many 
different connections and projects, it's always good to have a surplus of 
bits and pieces on hand to insure you don't get half way through a job, then 
have to put everything on hold to get a vital piece...and usually this 
happens at 6PM on a saturday or sunday when everything is closed.
