I can't even use a can opener. I'm mechanically challenged. I ripped off two thumbnails trying to change kids' bicycle chains.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Inconvenience yourself: ditch the remote, the garage door opener, the leaf-blower; buy a bike, broom, rake, and snow shovel.
If you're going to change things, you have to be with the people who hold the levers.
For charity purposes, how do I help? A lot of prospective levers and tools have come into my life.
Repeating my mechanics was difficult. I was always trying to do something different to make it click.
I got a strength coach. My wife. She gets big chains, and at night she puts them around the refrigerator. They are so strong, I can't break them.
As a kid, I remember taking apart whatever I could get my hands on.
I was born in 1946, so I was born on the tail end of when everything was deemed important. You made things to last. If you came from a poor family, there was only one can opener.
I am a mechanical techie. I can build things with my hands.
I'd love to try my hand at something else.
I can use most of the tools that every American teenager can master. Maybe not all of them.
