Speaking of hands, a few minutes before I shot this video, I was under my pick-up truck installing an oil pan heater. I was performing the surgery lying on my back on ice and snow with an outside temperature of 15 degrees in the dark (using my, when it feels like working, flashlight).

WHY? because Sara wanted it done NOW!...Yesum, Miss Scarlet".
