I try to increase my usefulness factor by some degree daily. It's a small victory for me when I can do maintenance work or repairs on our cars or build something that we need (usually out of something I found for free). Well Tuesday night my latch stopped working on my trunk. Nothing major - just an annoyance. So I designated today as "fix the latch day" (as well as "build Hannah shelves in one of our closets day" as it turned out).
After I removed all of the upholstery in the trunk lid, I summed up the problem by repeatedly pressing the trunk button on my remote. After I diagnosed the issue, I came inside and asked Hannah if she would agree to call me Macgyver for the remainder of the day if I could fix my trunk issue with just a common trash tie and a rubber band - she agreed.
Well MacGyver it is!
It works like a charm now!
Victory indeed.
