Lazy, me?

I don't mind oiling my typewriter arms, nor replacing the tubes in my AM radio and B/W TV when they burn out. I just keep winding up my gramophone, track and spool up the tape ends with my taperecorder and dutifully scrape the rubber ball crap from my computer mouse rollers.

I do rotate tires and will replace filters if that's the only thing needed.
But I won't change a car clutch myself, thank you. Nor do I get under my car to change oil or replace parts of the exhaust system.
Looking forward to getting an EV and be forever done with that.
Frees up time to tinker with other stuff.
