I read a Readers Digest story one time..."Better to have a Man Handy, than a Handy Man". I fall into that category. I learned a long long time ago to NOT dick around with stuff. I have little or no mechanical aptitude. It cost me a lot of money and an injured ego....and now I have come to that place where I carry tools and stuff...for the person that is going to fix it.
I am good at a few things tho and I take a great deal of pride in that. And one of them is I know how to get things done. I don't have a need to do it myself..but I sure know how to reach out and get it done. As far as knowing how something works? I kid you not..I am sure that there are people inside my TV and I cannot figure how a phone works..but..they seem to perform and that is ok with me.
I have a 99 Ford E350 with a V10...apparently it has 10 somethings. I don't change the oil, or do any other stuff. Yep..I pay and pay..but I am also not having another person repair what I busted in my attempt to be Mr Fix'r.
