Off Topic: Some good news

I got down on one knee and told My long time girlfriend I wanted her to scratch my back for the rest of our lives(Marry Me)

In a fit of madness she said YES!



The test will be if she can stand my obsession with these trucks and wood working and everything else once its official!

Having a gear-head wife for 37 years is the best thing to ever happen to me. I wish you well.

You got that right Josh.

But just in case Josh is wrong in this case, what's in the garage will probably be the cause of needing those breaks and if you go back out there (for any reason) you'll probably be a dead man.

Congratulations! Maybe an engagement picture - by the truck of course!


PS "bump bump bump, another one bites the dust."

Thanks for all the well wishes everyone

Rhonda isn't exactly a gear head but she does seem to really like this old truck. She doesn't mind getting greasy/dirty, and I think secretly enjoys having the house to herself sometimes She is enthusiastic about the things that I love and supports my addictions... THUS FAR!

I imagine there will be many times however that I don't dare step in that garage!

Thanks again!

David

Congrats. My wife isn't a gearhead either but she likes the fact I have my garage or shall I say, my place of zen. Especially when I'm working on her toy car (1973 convertable beetle).
