I agree entirely about the need to vocalise when struggling with the forces of rust. A good primal scream or two with a thick layer of expletives usually gets the job done. Strangely, my wife - among others I am sure - does not understand the thereaputic value of this. Fortunately we live in the bush and our closest neighbours are 1/2 a km away. But on occasion, they have been known to comment that I seemed to be having a particulrly tough struggle with something or other.
