Having fun

This weekend I worked on my fiancee's truck with him, and it was a blast. I never had so much fun working on something that you can get dirty with. I have to say being under the truck is one of the best places to be. I can't understand why most girls hate getting dirty. You can learn so much and have fun at the same time about something so SWEET. I can't wait until this weekend when we can work on it some more. I wish I could be doing something to it everyday LOL. It surpises my fiancee because I didn't grow up in a house that worked on trucks, they took the easy way out. They had someone do it for them. I am the only one in my family that gets into trucks, like it is the only thing to do on earth. Out of my three other siblings I am the only one that will get under a truck and get dirty. Hey what can I say, trucks are the best thing in life, and so is my fiancee.

Working on the truck huh, what else were you two doing to have that much fun.

Glad you like to help him. Sometimes you do need an extra set of hands, good for you and good for him I am sure.

I thought I saw a post like this from a guy a little while ago.

EDIT: Ok now I know, you are for Max. lol

Rick is right, an extra set of hands is always good with these trucks. Especially if you have small hands. I don't know how many times I had to have my wife reach in some where that my hands were too big to fit in. I am glad ya found a hobby you enjoy. Be careful though, you might end up getting addicted to powerstrokes like all of us here.

Truck beds are for more than just hauling equipment.

Sure, I taught myself about trucks, because it wasn't that hard. It was the best thing I have ever done. I knew how to change fluids with I was sixteen, with out no one showing me.

now that's awesome. i'm not real mechanically inclined but can do most of the basic stuff myself. she, on the other hand, could care less about mechanics. thus far distance has prevented me from learning her any more

Nothing could pull me away for working under a big toy. I think I already have that because I get a happy when I am behind the wheel of one. LOL

It is hard to teach someone about truck when they show no interest, but me I say bring on the dirt and tool and lets get to work.

Is your mother available? I've always said if I were ever back in the market for a bride I would be searching in MN, or ND. Probably the best women in the world in that part of the country. If you have read any of my posts you will see I've already stated that, this week in fact, I think.

Ha, the Chevrolet puts her out of my fantasy in a hurry. Even Goldie Hawn could not get away with that in my life.
