About The Threadless Nut
The name “The Threadless Nut” came about when I was building our garage. One of the nuts for the anchor bolts slipped through the factory with getting any threads cut. I spent entirely too much time trying to put this nut on the bolt before realizing this. I’m sure this is some sort of life metaphor, I just haven’t figured it out.
“Life is like a threadless nut ….”
I’m sure I’ll come up with something … someday.
