Yup no such thing as a truck mod fund. To them that's a waste of money.

Always remember this

 

Ha ha ha. You guys are right, no truck mod section, but we don't go out much. I usually just buy what I need and deal with it later, but now with the combined money I gotta get creative! The good news is, when I work for myself she doesn't know how much I make!

 

Right again Mike.

Good luck with that Todd. Not only do they think its a waste of money, they are mind readers!! LOL

 

That is hilarious!!!..............but true

 

You may THINK she doesn't know, but they ARE mindreaders and they possess an over-developed BS-meter! So usually you have to give up on the idea that you can keep anything secret and just fess up to everything... but it may take you a few years of marriage before you get there (perfectly normal, no need to see a doctor about it).

 

Lol. I don't lie Dan! Just keep a few things in that "gray area". Like, how much did that cost? Oh about 40 bucks...

 

Note to self.... STAY THE EFF AWAY FROM BILL'S TRUCK! I'm with you on that one buddy. A man's home is his castle, but a man's car or truck is sacred. You mess with that stuff and things get ugly. When I was in high-school my '87 Mustang GT was my prized possession (even got so tired of the family cats sitting on it, I shot one of them right off the hood with a rifle, lol). I came out of a store one day to find that somebody had keyed it all the way down one side and I was so fighting mad, I swear I could have torn that dude to pieces with my teeth if I had found him. There's two things you don't mess with; a man's family and a man's truck (or car).

I'm still holding onto hope that I may be able to get down there for RRE, but it isn't looking good. I refuse to drive my truck down there in the shape it is in now and I keep getting delayed in getting started on straightening it out. Doggone night classes are killing me. I just can't seem to get motivated to get anything done after a full day at work and then the classes too. Even though they're only 2 nights a week, everything else in the schedule gets compressed into the other nights. It just doesn't leave much time for wrenching. I'm trying though....

 

"I love my wife, I worship my truck"!

 

I wasn't suggesting you were a liar, just so you know. We just sometimes don't explain every detail of everything.

My wife and I play a little game. It's kind of an unspoken ritual. If she buys something for herself, then there is a qid pro quo (if I remember my latin right) that I get to spend an equivalent amount of money on something I might want. We've completely lost track over the years, but the game still seems to function even if the scoreboard isn't working! I guess this way neither of us has to feel bad about the occasional "treat" for ourselves given how much effort we put into the family and each other. It is kind of fun when she comes how with some ugly painting to start calculating what I might get to offset that purchase!!!

 

Dont worry Bill. Personal property I believe wholeheartedly shouldn't be messed with.
Unless you're REALLY good friends... in which case its almost expected(within reason) lol

I think some good old timey music should be in order too..
Anyone got a banjo?
We have a 'jew' harp and plenty of spoons. My buddy keeps a set in his truck so we can bust em out at bonfires.
We just lack a banjo.. and that aluminum drum with a wooden rod and one string to make the 'bum bum bum' or 'boom boom boom' idk lol YOU GUYS KNOW WHAT I MEAN

 

I guess it could be easier to have all trucks running the same local country station.
:O

 

I have a guitar and a mandolin but don't play either very well. But glad to bring it along.

 

Been there Nate. In high school I had a 67 fairlane 500 2dr hardtop. Painted it candiapple red. It was a sharp car. Some ***** keyed the side of it, and also stole the amplifier out of the trunk. Cops never could prove who did it, but I knew.

Let's just say, I got even.

 

Yes, but when my wife asks "how much does that cost?", I tell her, and she gasps...I simply reply: "It's better than a $375 truck payment every month...or more." You see, I got rid of my Toyota Tundra for which I was paying $375/month to get my 97 F250 (which I practically traded it for my CC). Now we have no truck payment. So...just like "that", it's justified. Plus, I handle all the money in my house anyway, so she trusts that I'll do what's best. (at least I think she does!).

 

I don't know if Bill has mentioned it, but I plan on coming down with him too. I have a guitar I'll bring, just in case. I don't get to play as much as I'd like anymore, so I'm a little rusty.
