I get frustrated figuring things out,try over and over and no luck,,Usually i take a break and go do something else and come back to it and things usually fall into place,I think the brain is doing some computting in the back ground while it is taking a rest from the problem

Like you if I cannot figure it out by just looking at it trouble. I am finally getting used to reading the instructions. Unfortunately most of the stuff I have to read is for foreign made stuff (hardware, the fancy stuff) and to make it easier they do it in pictures. I apparently do not do picture instructions well at all.
