("suck it up and take it like a man") What gives with that? Is it something attached to the gene that won't let you ask directions? Or read the instruction manual? <BR/><BR/>The amazing thing is it seems to be nearly universal. That and a belief that a Y chromosome carries with it inherent tool use knowledge.<BR/><BR/>I know guys who will break stuff, force stuff, smash things and cross-thread brass fittings before they will ever read the booklet telling them how to put the gas grill together. I don't know a woman alive who would do that.<BR/><BR/>There is one guy who tried to cut the sheet metal cover off the back of an old air conditioner (wasn't draining properly) and THREE TIMES said to his helper/friend "no, no, I can go a little further, I know what I'm doing" before he heard the tell-tale hiss of the freon escaping and polar bears drowning. His handy window-mount ac unit had just become a boat anchor.<BR/><BR/>Please tell me stuff like this does not happen at the bike shop.Dawn Fortunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14722591049949538021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9728880.post-12488080503497851552008-05-19T20:19:00.000-04:002008-05-19T20:19:00.000-04:00Finally made it to an Internet connection to catch...Finally made it to an Internet connection to catch up on life as you see it, which I must say I do enjoy! Congratulations are due for your daughter, you have every right to be proud of her and gloat for all the world to see... <BR/><BR/>I still have my mtn bike from my days living in UT, "It's a dry heat you know..." water bottles were hanging off it and me just to keep going!
