Umbrella repair

I've never been able to keep an umbrella in good shape for long. True to form, my umbrella failed this morning. The pin connecting the handle to the canopy fell out enough to allow them to separate. Luckily, the pin stuck in just enough that I did not lose it.

Thanks a pair of scissors drafted into service as a pair of pliers, the back end of a spoon, and a bit of duct tape, I was able to insert the pin through one side of the handle post and secure the half-baked repair in place.

I haven't tested the repair yet and am interested to see if it will survive even a light breeze.
