Ratsa-frackin'!

Background: When I was in the army, I was a Heavy Wheel Vehicle Mechanic. That means I got to work on diesel trucks that were 5+ tons. Very enjoyable, lots of fun. I still work on my own car for everything that doesn't require a lift.

Today, I pulled into my parents' driveway right as my car started gushing steam. My dad was there and we quickly found the problem- a cracked, plastic pipe that connected some hoses. That made me very happy b/c it's an easy fix and it sure beats having a cracked radiator. So my dad says, "You want to call your brother so he can come over and fix it for you?" I nearly had a Yosemite Sam moment. I'll be over here cooking dinner while you big, strapping men fix my car for me. You see, my ovaries keep me from holding a wrench correctly.

Btw, I fixed it.
