Like the morals one,

I have stopped 3 times while in Jeep to change a tire for someone, two female and a bloke on a wet day in a hire car on Mortorway who looked so lost. Turned out he was English and reckoned in England he would have been on his own.
I had work flourescent coat and gloves so pissing rain was no biggie to me. He reckons the Irish are the best people in the world ;)

I have managed to change my own tire on rear of Jeep with a 3.5T trailer hitched to rear in under 10 minutes so am well used to it. Forgot the number of times I have had to change a trailer wheel while its been loaded up.
I have a special jack and wheel brace which really speeds up process ;D

When I had to do my 3.5 ton trailer wheel, I didn't have a jack so had to improvise with blocks of wood to get enough lift. I just reversed the good wheel,  (twin axle) up ny makeshift ramp and bingo. There were some guys in a truck and I did ask them if they had a jack. They said yes but could not lend it to me just in case it broke, then promptly drove off. Good job I'm not a wimp and at least have some logic and resourcefulness otherwise I would have been there hours.

I presume you mean "am I left handed" If so then the answer is yes. What made you ask that?

Not a personal slur,but did you know that the latin for left handed is "sinister"
Dunno why had to mention that,I've overloaded my brain with trivia and it leaks out from time to time :)

apparently you can be left or right brained as well , if you stand up then sit down and cross your legs straight away the leg that does the crossing is the more powerfull side of you brain . im right handed but kick and punch left leading and my sisters who are both left handed both do the opposite . and ally is just strange  . very un usefull information , oh tazet i spotted your watch on your right wrist,

The wheel brace is just a straight bar with a bend at the end and another straight bar that slots on to that so I can jump on it to undo the bolts.  ;D
Although I'm left handed that's about all I can do with my left side. My right side is much stronger.
Note also how the watch is face down too.  ;D

Yeah but 'sinister' meant left-handed long before it meant anything spooky!  (did latin at school - only for a year tho!)
