If it weren't for bad luck...

  1. I'd have no luck at all.

    Bought a combination lock and cable as a token gesture at
    security for the DT. Worked out how to set the combination, closed the
    lock and spun the dials. Dialed in the new combination -- and it won't
    open.

    Damn, blast, and 10,000 combinations to try.

  4. Off, fortunately. I'm not as dumb as I look!

    Bought another one today and it works as advertised, so I must have
    screwed up first time, either by driving on auto-pilot or because the first
    time I tried to set the code I only had the locking lever half-way across;
    perhaps this allowed some misalignment in the code wheels so that I
    effectively applied two transforms. :-0!
