KBV?" a muscular fellow sitting not far from me asked.
"Nope."
"How 'bout a tech?"
"I did some tech work," I said. "Just fixin' stuff. Random stuff, electric mostly."
"Then how come you can't fix the radio for your commie?" someone else asked.
"I'm not an electrical engineer, just good with wiring and current," I said.
The meathead was still staring at me, trying to place me from KBV as either a chef or a tech. I didn't like it but I didn't show it. He finally said, "I'd swear I know you from someplace."
"Well, I don't know you." And it was true. I didn't.
Chapter 8. Night on the Farm
After dinner was over and everyone had more or less warmed up to me, I grabbed the circuit board with a bad strip on it from my backpack and brought it to the handyman. She examined it and saw the bad strip and shrugged, saying, "Could probably bridge it."
"That hard?" I asked.
"It ain't impossible," she said, "But it ain't necessarily easy neither. Plus, depends on if you got spare strips."
"You got any?"
She pondered it for a few moments, pretending to examine the board itself. There wasn't really any reason to examine the board, they're all pretty much the same. So she obviously had some, or the answer would have been immediate, but I knew she was really deciding whether she wanted to give up one of her spare parts to me. I liked her. She was a little like a commie. Rough around the edges, maybe, but smart enough not to jump into something she might regret later on.
