    Looking forward to this October trip, just relaxing on the beach and maybe catching a fish or two.

    Why?? I would have LOVED to spend time with my dad if he'd been around to work on his vehicle. It would have been "us" time. We never had any, except for Sunday afternoons watching movies he wanted to watch. I hated doing girly stuff... :notsure:

    If you don't, you will regret it later on

    this is why you and I get along Susan...we think alike :cool:

    :laugh: I meant household lightbulbs...like in lamps...but that's funny too

    :notsure: I usually take a couple of days around the holidays and I signed up to work at a dogsled race this year. If they select me then I hope to be working one of the checkpoints along the route and that will be a couple of days off too.

    but its brown :confused:

    fixed :cool:

    That's what I like about it now - helping dad in the garage is the only thing that just he and I can do, mom doesn't butt in.

    If you wait until she's 14 or 15, she won't want to work on cars... she'll be interested in clothes or BOYS!!!!

    It's no more dangerous for a girl than it is for a boy.

    Hmmmm I remember reading here a couple of weeks ago that there will soon be a shortage of auto mechanics... can you guess why??

    and I'm sure there is something you do with your mom, that he doesn't butt into...

    brown is dormant, not dead. It still needs water when dormant, just not as much.

    but wouldn't you want your hypothetical kid - boy or girl - to be self reliant in life and be able to take care of themselves? got to teach them things early on to plant that seed of curiosity in their brains.
    I was around power tools and what not since I was a kid and dad was very clear that some things were off limits for safety sake. I respected that and we never had an issue
    i hope so but it will most likely be waking up at 3am to welcome in a dog team, go through their required gear checklist and assist the vets while they check the dogs. Lots of paperwork and what not.
