"Go and ask Veikko", is pretty common phrase from my childhood. Actually that's how things still work. Last time when I were visiting my parents, I were out on the home street laughing to the guys how my car can jump up and down. Veikko adviced me to change the dambers. I question that would it be wise to do 1000euros service for a such an old car. Veikko told me that dambers are not that expensive: "go buy them and we can install them here". "What? Now?", I got all confuced and check the time. It was already 6p.m. and I had some plans for evening. "We start tomorrow morning" said Veikko. I was so excited but morning sound kinda bad. Wary smile on my face I asked him would half past 8 sound good.
The next morning I got up at 7am. I can tell you, that doesn't happen often :D LOL. I was just so excited that I couldn't sleep. I went out hoping to see Veikko. But he wasn't there. Right at 8.30 he walk back from the lake. He had being fishing for the morning. Awwe. That is so cute!
Finally we get to start. We change the other dumber together, and then I changed the other by myself. Same thing for front and back dumbers. So now I'm able to change dumbers for car. How cool is that :)

The following day I fixed the side of my car from rust. Two years ago someone hit me on parking lot and I never redo the paint job. Now was time to do it. Veikko adviced me of course. While I was painting, he repair the antenna of my car. It had got cut and I had looked everywhere but couldn't find a spare one. Veikko had saved an old radio antenna and used that for my car. Unbelievable! What is this guy!!! :)
I got little worried about future. It looks like there is not gonna be these guys from neighbour who can do everything. Even if people can do something they don't dare to try. They are too lazy or too busy. Kinda shame, coz I can't imagine my life without Veikko. I couldn't do anything, or at least I wouldn't have tools what to use. My whole life would be different. When I grow up I want to be Veikko :)
