Call Me McGyver

You can call me McGyver. Earlier this evening I fixed a 50 year old bathtub with a combination of parts stripped from odds and ends, sheer determination and a minmal amount of swearing.

I don't care if you are impressed or not, I am. Somehow it worked.

And on a note that is only going to be understood by some, I have an overwhelming urge to shout "Back off man, I am a scientist!"

Good to see that someone got the reference. Love that movie.

I am definitely impressed, Mc.
I couldn't fix a bathtub if I had the best parts and was guided by a professional.

For it to count as a real McGyver fix you need to include duct tape as one of the key resources used. Otherwise it's just impressive. :)

Awesome! Scientists are creative...it takes a lot of creativity to be resourceful enough to fix a 50-yr old tub with a few odds and ends. :)

Prag,

Don't sell yourself short.

Ric,

You are correct, I bow my head.

Elster,

There is more to the story but I didn't want to brag. ;)

Inky,

I wish that my tub was only ten years old.

Chickadee,

I used my inner child. At heart I am still just a boy.
