That there's a shockingly large number of adults who don't know where they live.

Hey! Sometimes we just have senior moments. No reason to pick on us.

Bull****

I change my own oil. And it was easy. Way harder on a 96 Bronco or the 00R with the brake ducts connected.

Me too, actually one of the easiest cars I've had in a while to change the oil on (that's if the 5.8 is like my lowly 5.4). I jacked it up and took of the driver's side wheel. The filter and plug are right there (only took the wheel off to begin with because I wanted to take those locking nuts off and put the regular ones back on).

Filter is right there in plain sight....

It is easy to repair a Moen kitchen faucet leak, once you have assembled the necessary tools

HAHA! I had to drill out the access hole to get to the torx screw thst holds on the handle. The hammer drill was a little overkill but my cordless batteries were dead. The faucet pamphlet suggests replacing the cartridge - $18.50. I found an o-ring replacement kit for $3.00. And it worked! (I was surprised). One of those things that took me 1.5 hours the first time, will take 15 minutes the next

That turkeys sleep in trees.

I guess they need to sleep somewhere, but the thought of a turkey in a tree is just odd.
