Cleco Aphorisms
Ahhh?it?s great to be building again! It reminds of a few life lessons that can be learned from the lowly Cleco:
1) Life is too short to use bad Clecos
2) A Cleco Loaned is a Cleco Earned
3) You can never have too many Clecos!

I agree with, "you can never have too many clecos.", but if you can't keep track of one pair of clecos pliers per person in the shop, you might be in need of evalutating your shop process.

Is it bad when develop a bond with your cleco pliers? I have a favorite pair and can identify them on sight.
Anyone else reach for the shiney clecos to put in prominent locations or if someone might drop by?

Never judge a cleco by its exterior.
A cleco in the hand is worth two that have rolled under the &^%#! workbench.
The clecos are always shinier in someone else's hangar.
Veni, vidi, clecoum. (I came, I saw, I clecoed. The original Latin seems to have been garbled...)
Also (forgive me) size matters...

Process! Did he say "process" and "shop" in the same sentence? 
OMG!

That made me spill my beer too...
One pair is not really a big problem if you're taking 4-6 years to build the plane and have the time to straighten up, sweep, mop, bacteria wipe and put up every tool everttime you enter the shop... Build on!

1. A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single cleco
2. Failure to cleco is preparing to fail.
3. If there is no cleco, there is no progress.
4. If you don't have time to cleco you must have time to do it over.
5. Necessity is the mother of clecos.
Not really one, but
to cleco, or not to cleco, that is the question?
