My wife Judy's first husbands father in law had a compulsion to label
everything he ever purchased, with the date of purchase, cost, and location
of purchase. That went for washers and dryers, mop buckets, everything.
When we helped clean out their house when they could no longer manage for
themselves, everything in the house was labeled with magic marker and
string tags. We chuckled about that for a long time. But, Col. Ken has a
good, valid, reason for his labels. He has a huge bunch of additional
stuff mounted in his coach, nobody could remember all that without labels.

That is classic Ken and classic Stick.

I once asked Ken if he had enough labels (there are dozens if not hundreds
on his coach), and his response was that they weren't all labeled, so
obviously not.

I suspect his strategy is that any time he has to identify a wire, he
labels it, no matter what end he's working on.
