I miss the good old days...

Back in the day, when I was younger and much more full of life, I did a lot of things for myself. Like once I changed my thermostat in my car all by myself. Then another time I changed the water pump, again by myself. And when I ran over something really super big on the freeway, and it ripped off part of my muffler, I knew how to crawl under the car and reconnect it until I could save the money to have it fixed by a professional. Oddly, none of those things impressed the guy I was dating at the time. Now days, I would be lost under the hood of a car. They don’t even have carburetors anymore. And I have no idea what a cam follower is, does or where it goes. :o/
