Not a problem here! My shop is a quarter mile from the house and we made a deal 42 years ago. The house is her domain and the shop is mine!

My wife worked for years in the shop with me, but with all the grandkids around, most of her time is spent with them and her accountant work...

Not for me. If it is cold, she'll stay inside the house!
Generally speaking the Warden has the uncanny knack of waiting until I'm contorted into some ungodly position, covered in grease up to my arm pits, and then show up declaring there is some type of "emergency" at the grocery store that requires my immediate (and hers) attention.

I think so too! Maybe why I've kept her around for 42 years................lol


Melody has helped me rebuild engines, paint cars, and do most everything in the shop. She can even weld!


She still does all my upholstery work...

I'm getting too old to be looking for a new wife. Tried it once before for 12 years that didn't work. 34 years the second time. I think I'll just keep her, she doesn't bother me unless its time to eat.
