Nah. I have a foolproof method for breaking them stubborn lug nuts loose. My son was skinny as a rail and learned how to break them things loose. The weight of the tire itself is what can be an issue for them, but I have a way they can get around that too. Most of that stuff is all about leverage. Brute strength can get it done too, but leverage is the smart way to go about it.

Re: Self Sufficiency
At eleven years of age I abandoned each of my sons in the middle of winter in the midst of the Mount Zirkel Wilderness Area (40° 49' 13 N and 106° 38' 46 W) clad only in a loin cloth and armed only with a short spear and a knife. If they survived this test, then they were accepted into the Agoge at age twelve and trained as warriors.

Just how did you manage to get those plums to taste like cherries?

LOL, it wasn't me, it was God! We just stuck the tree's in the ground 5 years ago, he somehow made them grow and produce fruit to overflowing. They don't taste like cherries when you eat them, just in the pie. But then, I have never had plum pie before, so I can only compare it to what I've had, LOL
