According to this month's edition of my thirteen year old son's Popular Mechanics magazine, these are the "25 Skills Every Man Should Know": Patch a radiator hose Protect his computer (firewall and virus security) Rescue a boater who has capsized Frame a wall Retouch digital photos Build a campfire Fix a dead outlet Navigate with a compass and map Use a torque wrench Sharpen a knife Perform CPR Fillet a fish Maneuver a car out of a skid Get a car unstuck Back up data on a computer Paint a room Mix concrete Clean a bolt action rifle Change oil and filter Hook up an HDTV Bleed brakes Paddle a canoe Fix a bike flat Extend his wireless network Hmmm....I found this an interesting list. I'm not sure I agree with everything on list as the top 25 skills. I'd rather have a husband or son who could do some simple plumbing before cleaning a bolt action rifle. Maybe the HDTV people paid to have this skill included on the Top 25 list....one would have to buy an HDTV to learn how to hook one up! I think my husband has a lot of work ahead of him as a mentor to my two young teen sons. What skills would be on YOUR list? |
