Is it worth it?

[John Ross]

Actually, Avery, I think my problem stemmed from having to pry that
can open,to put in the new pound. I must have distorted the hollows
and hills that make up the screw, because the can, wouldn't tighten
up, after the mishap. So I put it all in a new can, it was after all,
nearly a full pound.
I suppose an idea would be to put Mclube on the threads, so it can be
turned.
I keep my assortment in my van, so the cans have been through lots of
freeze roast cycles.
