Man Skills
I hit an interesting web page in doing some research on Man Caves. Popular Mechanics had a list of the top 25 skills every man should know. Looking over the list there aren’t too many difficult skills on it, but I do have to admit that I only had 24 of the 25 skills within my repertoire. On a good note, I did manage to actually perform 21 out of the 25 items. You get to guess which four I have yet to do.
1. Patch a Radiator Hose
2. Protect your Computer
3. Rescue a Boater Who Has Capsized
4. Frame a Wall
5. Retouch a Digital Photo
6. Back Up a Trailer
7. Build a Campfire
8. Fix a Dead Outlet
9. Navigate with a Map and Compass
10. Use a Torque Wrench
11. Sharpen a Knife
12. Perform CPR
13. Fillet a Fish
14. Maneuver a Car Out of a Skid
15. Get a Car Unstuck
16. Back Up Computer Data
17. Paint a Room
18. Mix Concrete
19. Clean a Bolt Action Rifle
20. Change Oil and Filter on a Car
21. Hook Up a HDTV
22. Bleed Brakes
23. Paddle a Canoe
24. Fix a Bike Flat
25. Extend Your Wireless Network

I guess that you have not done
19.
13.
3.
25.
The only one I have never done is 21. I am sure I could with the book, though.
The tasks that I have never done are 1, 3, 13, 19,
1. I actually replaced a radiator hose but never fixed one. I've never been that stuck.
3. I can't say that I spend that much time around a lake to ever had the chance to.
13. It's fish... why would I even want to fillet it?
19. Don't own a gun, never fired a gun, so therefore... never cleaned out a bolt action rifle.
Now that said, I think that I can do all of those tasks if pressed, but I've yet to do them.
