the difference between my wife and dog is: My dog quits whining when I let it in the house.

 

Haha that is awesome!!

 

at my wedding my great grampa stood up and said "don't be led into thinking you've just found your new best friend for life. Lock her and your dog in the trunk of your car for an hour and see who's happy to see you when you return..."

Wise man, my great grampa, married for 68 years to the same woman, would still be if old age hadn't caught up with him. One man who I wish I could sit down with for a month and do nothing but listen to stories of how things got to where they are today. Born in the early 1900's, seen it all, master machinist by trade, farmed, delivered mail when times were tough to make ends meet, told me stories of walking behind the horse and sleigh on ice so thin it was like walking uphill the whole time. In winter times before the roads and bridges were in place, the only way to the city was across the ice... My only childhood regret...not taking more time to listen to the people who paved the way for current generations...

 

Thats pretty funny Sherm, I picked up that same saying years ago and love reiterating it!


Sounds like your great grandfather was quite the guy. Sounds very similar to my own grandfather. Some of the crap they went through was simply amazing.

My grandfather that passed away was a hell of a man too. He wasnt an outlaw, but damn close to what they call a one percenter. He took no crap from anyone, and backed that up anyway he could. He lived a tough life, came from really hard times in Russia and snuck over to Canada. He was tortured and beaten, and ended up making it to Canada only to break 3-4 quarter sections of land by hand, so he was able to farm. Damn hard worker he was.


Lots of interesting people from back in the day for sure.

 

Ok, has anyone needed to explain glow plugs on a diesel truck yo a girl. I've told Vickie several times bout them now and still like talking to a wall

 

Jist imagine what the women say about us.

 

That's why I don't go near her new front loading washer and dryer

 

Explaining how glow plugs work to some men is equally as hard though lol.

 

Good point. I don't know if I fully understand how they operate. I know I've been told a few times, but never owned a diesel to make it important retainable information. Guess thats the woman in me

 

When you start a truck with a diesel and it either has a coiled up spring light or a "wait to start light".... Don't start

 

that much I know...give me a little credit Could I explain to someone how they operate? No. While the little coily looking thing is there, or the "wait to start" light is there, what are they doing? Hiding the booze before they go to work? Pressureizing the cylinders? Heating the fuel? I guess I should check out what wiki has to say

 

No one really knows how they work, they are magic! haha

 

you can be such a turd! lol

 

They are a pin that heats up red hot to warm the cylinder. This makes the diesel ignite easier.

 

Im going with my magic/unicorn theory
