Not a handyman anymore, don't fix stuff like I used too.
Heh, I ran out of "shade trees" long ago. Like back in the '80's when electronic ignition came about. However, having been involved with both farming and driving 18-wheelers in my past life, I do still have some abilities.
Torque specs for one of my (now late) uncles: Tighten until it twists off, then back off a half turn.
When I was a kid I saw him twist off a 2 inch pipe at the collar using two 24 inch pipe wrenches. Strong as an ox and half as smart. Actually he was really smart, just not so much in a practical way. Sort of a proto-nerd. I think he would have really related to computers, but he died a little too soon.
As for me, my mechanical skills are alive and well, and I still have lots of tools which I seldom use. Probably ought to have a thinning out sale.

Son n laws will thin out your tools.
Depends on what it is.
Cars, 1950 -1990, I can work on it.
Plumbing, After a lot of cussing I can get it done.
Carpentry, All digits are in danger.
Electrical, Nothing over 12 volts.
Guns, S&W and Glock pistols and AR platform rifles, Pretty familiar.
TV and Internet, Expert.
