I loved teaching it and the college liked having me do the class. They said that the women would listen and learn from me. Plus I made everyone go "hands on." No one is going to this for you, you can and WILL do this yourself. Failed grade was refusing to try.

So true. And I bet you were GREAT at it, Angela.
Since she grew up on a farm Arden was handy. She had been mowing and helping me as a tool monkey when she was 8 or 9.
I told her that with the license to drive went changing a tire by herself, oil change by herself, identifying every visible part of the contents of the engine bay.
Taught her to drive a stick, tow and, every snow storm, how to drive in snow. She was a natural, I kid you not. She was almost
too good.
