Hi Matthias,

Let me just say few thing to you...

You need to consider what you're trying to do... A phrase from a Field
of Dreams (I hope I quote this correctly) says, "if you build it they
will come." I'm sure if you think of it that you can build it... well
unless there is something way beyond your capability or the
equipment...

There is so much ingenuity here in the Newton Community and so much
has been created recently that I'm sure that you can do it ... it's
almost a McGyver attitude of doing what you can with what you have...
(hopefully you've seen that show...)

Let me share a simple OT example that occurred today when I dropped my
daughter off at Pre-K this morning. I happened to notice one of the
male parents helping one of the female parents try to break into her
car because she had locked her keys in the ignition...

I was trying to help and was at my wits end... He was trying to use a
coat hanger which is a common tool which is readily available... but
as I was giving up I thought I might as well look around and see if
there was anything usable around the garbage cans to help them out...
I happen to catch out of the corner of my eye a broken Swiffer
broom... (hopefully you know what that is...) well I took the bottom
square portion off and proceeded to attempt to engage the power door
lock to open her vehicle... and low an behold within a few minutes I
opened the door...

This example is to tell you to, 'GO FOR IT!', it may fail but the
reward for trying is very well worth the effort even if it fails....

I hate to show my other expertise such as breaking into cars... but
what can I do... I've locked my own keys in my vehicle a numerous
times and I picked up a lot of knowledge living in the worse
neighborhoods in Brooklyn, NY and all I can say in that it taught me
to see things in many angles... and that you've got to be creative...
the Man upstairs made us to figure things out.... Look at Paul, dang,
he created Einstein ... but of course to do it the correct way!
