How To: Fix Ur Coffe Grinder

   Embarrassingly enough I managed to melt the wire on my 
coffee grinder a while ago. How? You ask.  Well, our kitchen is
pretty small, with only two outlets, and...  ummm, it found its
way into the George Foreman Grill one day.  You know, the cord 
is black, the grill is black, these things are bound to happen 
(and yes, I heart my george foreman grill). 
     
    Finally I found myself with some free time and did the 
obvious. I took a pair of scissors and cut the damaged part of 
the cord off. I then took one side of the word and carefully as
I could I clipped off the black plastic, trying not to sever the
little copper threads as best I could.  I trimmed back the 
pliable plastic on both ends, about an inch on each side.  More 
than I needed to but i figured I'd rather not have to sit down 
and trim more as it was finnicky work and time consuming.  I 
carefully twisted the wires together and wrapped a generous
amount of electric tape around and about the exposed wire.  It's 
a junky job but the freakin thing fucking works again!

    The cord is pretty short now; I figure that means it wont
sneak into that damn grill anymore.  I probably could have 
twisted together less of the wire, it kind of made a knot on 
the cord, but what they hell, it works.
