Me.  Changed my truck tire in a snowstorm on a single lane mountain
road in Montana with a 4 year old to help.  Then went home and
installed the in-line heater.

Me.  8 years as a single parent on nurse's wages (and working in an
operating room which teaches you a lot about tools), you learn to do a
lot of stuff yourself. Besides, unless it was physically impossible, I'd
be damned if I was gonna ask a man to help me! <g>

I guess I fail on that one...one of those quasi-vegetarian types that
can't cook (but I married a good one!) At least I know steak comes from a
cow -- had that simplistic explanation told me once when I questioned a
cut of meat (didn't know what it was...was told
"cow"........oh...:-p)

Is that anything like getting stuck in the snow???  In the snow,
tho, you go get some sand and a shovel to help get you unstuck. 
(Or, if your right side truck wheels end up in a "barrel pit"
after a big snowstorm in Montana, you grab the first couple of jeeps that
go by and a couple sets of chains and get pulled out. <g>) What do
you in the sand?

I never seem to be travelling with one in my rig.  Guess I should
get this one figure out! ;-)
