Handy Man

OK, after two death posts I need to get back on track here and do something lighthearted.

Last Saturday I successfully changed a fuel filter on our car.

Last night I replaced the controller on our boiler.

I'm overjoyed to say that the car is running fine and I our house is warm.

I'm pumped!

The truth: it took me about 3 hours to do the fuel filter and it required about 5 trips in and out of the house to look at the internet for pointers. It took me about 2 days to get the gas smell off of my hands and the grease out from under my fingernails. The dirty nails were strangely rewarding.

The controller was easy because all I had to do was read. Fortunately I can.
