Freudian slip there.

Quien es mas macho?? Fernando Lamas o Ricardo Montalban? Si es Ricardo Montalban.

Corinthian..... :)

BTW...real men don't have to belittle others just to prop up their "Manlihood".

I get that is can be entertaining at times...but if that's part of your character...you got issues yourself about being a "real" man... :)

I meant no harm, it is sort of an inside joke with us. We had this young kid show up to work at the rental houses in flip flops, and we rode him hard about it. . He did have work boots in his car, but we never let him live it down.
Baz, you work out in the heat all day, your probably tougher than most of us here .

Baz don't need no steel toe boots. Baz already got steel toes!

These "guys" make me want to puke.

PLUSH Corinthian leather!!!!

Where do I send my "man card".... I have never carved a Thanksgiving turkey, and never will....I wouldn't even know which Sawzall blade to select....it would not be a pretty sight :)

not me...I don't enjoy puking.

I have two sons both over 30 years old . The oldest was always interested in learning DIY type stuff the youngest never showed interest . While I involved both of them in many projects over the years I don't think ANY of the lessons sunk in with our youngest son . It just is not in his DNA . So he will be calling AAA if/when he gets a flat . I think no less of him he's just different than I ........ we are all different .

Haha! Tell yer wimmenz that"s not a cooking timer. Its a smoke alarm.

Ha ha.......think "Chuck Norris toes" guys.... :)

And there it is.....well done, sir....SmileWavy

Close, but it's "soft Corinthian leather."

Anyways, men not being able to change a flat seems weird to us here, but the majority probably can't (or shouldn't even try!)

I've rebuilt engines, repainted cars, etc. But my college aged son wouldn't know how to change a flat. I wouldn't expect that he could. When I was a kid, I had tons of free time to do things like tinker with cars. It's a much more competitive world for kids these days (90% of applicants to his college, for example, get rejected and their applicant pool is very strong). I'd guess maybe 5% or less of the kids at his school could change a flat.

I was born into a very self-reliant family on both sides. No one called any servicemen to fix anything. My father and uncles helped each other on roofing rip and replace "parties", building additions, appliance repairs and all sorts of automotive work. Money or lack thereof was probably the basis of some of it, but looking back on it there was also some real dignity in their competence. Even as some of them met with corporate success, they enjoyed rolling up their sleeves on a weekend and doing "real work". I learned from them not only how to do things, but that anything, even if I hadn't done it before, was doable. I realize not everyone had this privledge. Several of my BIL's are not disposed mechanically at all- they simply had no exposure to any of it. My sisters may have moments of exasperation with them when something needs doing, but if writing a check gets it done, well at least it's done. I wonder what folks less mechanically competent think of us.

All things being equal, who wouldn't rather be capable of doing a thing, than of not being capable of doing it?

Changed tires many times. Getting the spare to come down on the Trailblazer is another whole thing. I take it down periodically just to make sure the cable mechanism worked. Tried it again a week before a long cross country trip last Feb and no way was it coming down. The safety catch to prevent the wheel from dropping accidentally is stuck. Lots of frustrating time trying all the tricks, penetrating oil and more to make it work. It finally came down after threatening it with a bolt cutter and a torch. Worked on the mechanism to get it freed up and working fine. Put it back together and again it wouldn't work. Okay I'm done, took the bolt cutter with us on the trip. Fixed it when we got back.

I thought it was "rich Corinthian leather"....

Recardo always said "Fine Corinthian Leather" and it is NOT a real thing. They just thought it sounded good when he said it.

Men who do not know how to change a tire designed the computer, smart phone, etc. you used to create this post.

Citation?

I like to do everything that I can for myself out of principal. This weekend I finished the clutch in my subaru that must have taken me 15 hr total to do. Sunday I cut and weeded my lawn, which led to massive fire ant bites on my feet (Flip Flops :) ), which led to project 2 for the day spreading fire ant yard poision.

I hear chatter in the hallways from people who went fishing, and another that went to the beach with his family. I think maybe they are doing it right.

It could be my itchy feet talking though
