The DSM has a very technical term for your brother: asshole.

Yes, but my brother worked on his vacay home to save himself $600 on brakes. Tires and brakes should always be checked prior to going on vacay. Once he flew out to CA because I gave him my old truck and on Saturday I said, "Stay till Monday and we'll have the transmission fluid checked." Wouldn't stay 2 days.

So in the mountains the tranny gives out and he works on it two days to replace the tranny. But I have to tell you he's smart. This whole thing humans have of compartmentalizing intelligence is very curious Makes you stop and wonder what you may be compartmentalizing. But I figure as long as you're wondering, you're doing OK. I'm open to being wrong, because life has taught me.

To this day I wonder if the tranny fluid would have shown something. I was living on a boat and could've taken a few days off of work so we could fish while the truck was worked on.
