Do an oil change next

Amen!

After 20+ years of working in front of a computer and being a lazy comfortable western city dweller it feels quite empowering to do stuff with your own hands and reparing something instead of replacing it. 🫡

There is nothing better than honest work that maintains what you own.

Yes!! Like washing dishes!!

And then watching YouTube videos on how to do it … 5 minutes later presenting your talents to your wife 😂

Nice! Even doing just that bit, is more than most will ever do to their car.

I don’t want to seem adversarial as I appreciate the message, but I feel compelled to ask: Is it the doing things with one’s hands that’s rewarding or is it rather doing the act of something your unfamiliar creating new neural pathways, thanks to our neuroplasticity? If what we ultimately are is thought in and of itself, I believe it could just be applied, willful thought is more gratifying than doing what we already understand how to accomplish

I love a good diy journey. I am always trying to fix things myself. Our dryer went out and we got another one, after trying to fix it with a part, seemed like it was the control board, so we decided to retire it and get a new one ... The new one would take almost two drying cycles to finish, I researched why that might be. Turns out the dryer vent pipe was probably clogged with debris so I ordered a sweeper tool for the drill. Got that done at 10 am and now the dryer is working flawlessly. 💪🏼
