    Since posting this I have accomplished 3 on the top 50. Some I don't think I will ever accomplish. I cannot get a lug nut off, I just don't have the arm strength. I need a type of leverage.

    You can do it with ease, moto. Just add a piece of metal pipe to your wrench. It adds a lot of leverage, and you can break it loose with no problem. That piece of pipe is often called a cheater.:) (the longer the pipe, the more leverage. For lug nuts, 2-3' should be a big help)

    In the past 11 months since posting this thread I have learned or tried many of the 133 skills. Looking at where I was and what I have learned, I am happy with my progression.

    This skill
    56. Wax cheese for long term storage.
    Make your homemade cheese last throughout the year(s) with this storage method!

    Is a skill that interests me. My family loves cheese and I cannot imagine life without it. I have heard that you can wax cheese and extend the shelf life (3 years).

    PS- the link above that links to the original article is broken- here are the instructions. Perky Prepping Gramma: Waxing cheese
