Okay, he can be a little handy

when it suits him....

Our neighbor is Mr. Handyman. He built a swing set, teeter-totter, balance beam, dog house...and those are just the things in the back yard I know about. I usually envy women somewhat who have a handyman husband.

My husband has talents, that's certain, but I don't give him much credit for being handy.

Exhibit A, freshly changed out bicycle handle bars with new handlebar tape which he shellacked. He crashed his bike (again) a week ago and broke his brake lever. So he purchased new handle bars, levers, and new tape and fixed it up himself (which is good because I'd hate to pay more for this repair...my $$$ register goes off every time he goes out for a ride....how much will this ultimately cost us?)

But he can be proud of himself for this handy job well done.
