Domestic engineer! ;)
Living in a challenging climate does tend to focus the mind and logical, step-by-step procedures become habit over 40 years or so.
I moved to Milwaukee at age 19 after living in Central Illinois. First morning standing out waiting for the bus taught me the value of wearing warm layers and boots. Moved out here in ‘75 to an old house and hilly driveway. Learned to plan the work and work the plan.
Of course, it helps to have a very handy husband!
