It didn’t occur to my kids that a Christmas tree ornament with a missing hanger could be “fixed”. They were going to throw it out. So I told them to glue in a paper clip or something and they did do it. The older girl is making progress with DIY resourcefulness and can do some maintenance on her motorcycle. I go around fixing everything all the time — much more satisfying than buying new Chinese junk.

Yeah, checking valve lash, changing tires and tubes (it's a dirt bike), put in a new friction plate and right-side main seal almost entirely by herself.
