you got it ...
LOOK .....pretend that is in size 30 font.

lots of people don't 'just look' as a first step.
near as I can tell anyway.

was talking to a guy today ..owner of a very exotic vanagon .
said his father taught him how things work ..
but never to actually touch them and work on them.

Smart guy too ...great good smart guy ..
but to take a screw driver to anything , even something pretty simple
......evidently is foreign to him.

He has skills I don't most likely too ..
not like I expect everyone to be able to fix things..
and I am also suprised at what some people believe they can't do.

Like it never occurs to some people..
vanagon owners here and theretoo, to tighten a loose screw. Can someone
explain that? ?
lol!
