LOL.
Ironically, my sisters know how to do all that as well! 
Growing up in the mountians, and spending summers with our grandparents on a small family farm makes it easy to learn all that. Not to mention having the parents we've got. Dad was a Greenskeeper at a golf course for over 15 years, worked as a volunteer firefighter, a volunteer police officer, an EMT (he and mom worked with our local doctor to build the Hickory Nut Gorge EMS).
Living in the mountains back then you had to wear alot of hats, and you learn alot of things while just growing up. Self-sufficiency is very important when the cloest hospital is an hour helicopter ride away...

Fuck being a hero. Do you know what you get for being a hero? Nothing! You get shot at. You get a little pat on the back, blah blah blah, attaboy! You get divorced... Your wife can't remember your last name, your kids don't want to talk to you... You get to eat a lot of meals by yourself. Trust me kid, nobody wants to be that guy. I do this because there is nobody else to do it right now. Believe me if there was somebody else to do it, I would let them do it. There's not, so I'm doing it.
