We're as much alike as I thought. You find someone, man or woman, who's grown up on a farm, and they tend to be extremely capable in a can-do sense. Even my father, who left the farm at 18 and never looked back retained vestiges of that approach. He wasn't great with tools, but he always had an approach to every problem. On a farm, everyone pitches in.

The only problem I've gotten into is that some of the approaches posed to me tend to be labor intensive and lack elegance. Which is not to say that the "jest git 'er done!" approach is ineffective, just that I've never been completely at ease around horses. (Dangerous at both ends and uncomfortable between)
