and that's our fault?????

LOL...its ok, we're good for carrying the blame and we all know that when you drag it home and the little woman comes out and stands there with her arms crossed, her lips pursed, and her toe a tapping that you are going to need to try and deflect some of her anger. Go ahead, aim it our way (we all have teflon and asbestos skivvies)

Sounds like a cool toy

Bobby, you're going at it all wrong! What Kevin has to do, especially this time of year, is to get a big ribbon and bow and wrap the truck with it and take it home. Go inside the house, cover his wife's eyes, lead her outside telling her he has a big surprise present for her and when they get outside tell her to open her eyes and yell "Merry Christmas!!"

I bet it will leave her speechless

it's out at my uncles farm { the wrecker } and i think i probably ought too leave it there for awhile . she has a bit of an idea though as i asked where my pics were from way back when i was about 6 as i got pics of my grandpa's ih of 52 vintage he turned into a wrecker . built it himself except for the winch . i may be needing to find a dog house of my own as mallethead is a pig in his kennel . oh and she dont know 'bout the 74 mustang 2 sittin'out there i got from my cousin either ................. a ribbon or bow aint gonna help she'd try to hang me with it ! you all might get to see a justifiable homicide on you tube if i tape it .

I think we all know how we got into these messes, it all started out with a cute smile and a little shake of the hips and twenty years later........

My wife has finally found it's no use fighting my decease. I have it under control because of two things; there isn't much good iron left around here and there isn't much money in my pocket either. Although I do have $500 hidden away

My wife has this great power. If I sell something for $500 she'll come along whining because she has a bill for $525 and she has the $25 but doesn't know where to get the the $500. If I sell something for $250 she'll have a bill for $262.50. It doesn't matter, she aways seems to find a bill for about 5% more than what I have. She does it every time right after I sell something. What I wonder is what would she have done if I didn't have the money?

It's just amazing!
