I think my dad might be even more of a renaissance man than even yours....he grew up on a bit of a small farm and helped run his dad’s gas station. He can repair anything with parts from a car to a furnace to a nuclear power plant. He is like Macgyver but gets offended if you say that because so much of what macgyver does wouldn’t work irl. He’s got computers down as well. He once built his own TV from components just for fun. We’ve never had a service guy for anything....if a sink needs to be swapped or whatever he just does it....

I consider myself fairly renaissance as well.....I definitely fixed a couple of things on my car with guidance....air conditioner on the old beretta and battery issues with the Volvo.....when the battery died I remember standing out in the rain with the AAA guy and he said nobody ever stayed to watch they just went inside...seriously I want to learn. Now I’ve got both science and library background going because I love to learn new things. I spent ten years learning how to cook anything. So yeah, you’re not alone but I get what you’re saying...like most guys I’ve dated don’t even know how to open the hood on their car, lol. I paint and do photography, blog and even have an IT certificate....
