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.

Idk. My dad grew up on a farm in Mississippi too. Did everything from milking cows to cleaning chickens. To picking cotton and other stuff. He made his first go kart from scratch at 9 years old and built his first radio from scratch literally too around that time. He knows how to fix everything u said and more. He built chip boards for products for nasa and Apple and other big companies. He was the top engineer at his company for decades in his position. Even helping out other engineers in other positions. He scored the highest on the company math test earning him the highest engineer position in his field at the company. He was an amateur boxer in Tennessee. He plays multiple instruments extremely well and I’m trying to get him to make a CD even. Been trying to. He was a private investigator for his tech company he worked for, for awhile too. He know legal stuff like the back of his hand. He knows how to run real estate, he own multiple houses. Both my parents do on that front.
I mean I can go on and on about him. He has multiple accomplishments under his belt including activism. He went to Washington DC and Arizona multiple times to do it. I mean. I. Can. Go. On. [emoji122]
Me? I’m good at a lot than most people but not as good as him. I’m trying to be.
