I'm starting to feel sorry for Jim's wife and friends,

when he displays his full facility with the drive-by gloat, saying:

So, you sneak, I guess anyone with a helper like this, (Leach's dog
comes to mind - no linkage with Jim's SWMBO intended), should be
admitted to the Porch.  We need to cultivate this art of choosing
able and willing tool hunting companions.  What's the trick Jim?
