Scene two....The camp needs a new waterline run to the fish cleaning table. You pack up the boat the night before, provision the ice chest. buy food and drink wake up at the crack of dawn Saturday and are at Lowes at opening time to buy whatever you need to DO-A-FIRST-CLASS-JOB . You decide that this is a good time to buy that new volt meter you have been meaning to buy and you might as well stop by the marine hardware store to get the parts to fix the bait trawl.
You arrive home Sunday night smiling, sunburnt and tired with a newly plumbed fish shed and fixed up bait trawl in your wake, a new volt meter and that brand new handheld GPS with electronic compass and maps of the entire USA that was calling your name at the marine store.....

One of these was WORK and the other was FUN. Can y'all decide which is which
Problem I see is with scene one. The trip to Lowes for the .050 washer is only the FIRST trip. The next trip is for either a replacement washer assembly, of which there are hundreds, or for an entire faucet assembly due to breaking off the supply line. Regardless there's no such thing as a '050 plumbing fix.
