I do all my auto repairs, build my own desktop computers, and I even replaced my daughter's screen on her iPhone. I bet I'm even handier than oldr_n_wsr.
I know what you're thinking... I am simply amazing.
“In a world whose absurdity appears to be so impenetrable, we simply must reach a greater degree of understanding among us, a greater sincerity.”
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

I recall with perfect clarity the moment I was lying on my back on a creeper welding something to the underside of a pickup truck and I stopped and looked at where I was and what I was doing and said "screw this, I'm going to pay someone else to do this. Getting paid for this, stinks."
Discovering that I don't actually HAVE to figure it out and fix it myself was a liberating moment; it took years to get completely out of the habit of just taking care of business myself.

I didn't know there was a line between them.

humble too.
While I have not fixed the screen on an iphone, I have replaced the audio jack on my duahgters music player i-thing.
And I did take my PT Cruiser to a mechanic when the water pump went. It involved disconnecting a bunch of stuff from the engine then dropping it 6 inches just to get at it. They connected it to the timing belt which was behind some plate which was behind the alternator belt which was behind the serpentine belt which was right up against the wheel well.
High Plains Drifter is one of my favorite movies Wes...I've probably watched it at least a dozen times over the years...(most recently a few months ago)
Trump ain't The Stranger....Nor is he The Preacher from Pale Rider...
If you want a character from a Clint Eastwood western that is most like Trump, it would be this guy:
The Carpetbagger...
The fast talking snake oil salesman in The Outlaw Josie Wales...
