Each month, my kid's school sends him home with some paper silhouettes for him to decorate for a class bulletin board. This month was raindrops, as in
April showers bring May flowers. I had some old copper flashing in the basement, so we cut out some raindrops using tin snips. I thought my son would enjoy hammering different screwdriver heads into the copper to make cool patterns. Then, of course, we'd drop in coke or something else to make them shiny.
Turned out the copper was harder than expected, so he was only able to make quite shallow dents in it. We visited my dad looking for something else to use as a punch, and he instead annealed all our raindrops with a torch. It made them super soft, and now I expect we won't have any problem hammering patterns into them.
How is it that dads know everything, yet I'm a dad and I don't?

I remember the first Might and Magic manual. One of the characters in the screenshots was CRAG THE HACK. I don't know its significance, but it was nifty to see the name again in your post.
