Oh geez, it's just the opposite for me! I've had to convince DH I didn't marry him just for his Snap-On tools and instruction/supervision of all my mechanical work! (On the motorized vehicles anyway, he's useless with a bici. )

Anyway, great job Heif! And (as you'll no doubt learn one day soon) changing a front flat isn't even really messy (provided it isn't raining). If you're riding in your work clothes, you can always jam a pair of disposable nitrile gloves into your seat pack for those rear flats and chain drops. I keep a pair in my motorcycle tank bag, but never bother with the bici.
