Her vehicle or mine.

If you walked up to my truck and told me what it needs I would listen too Dan...

Tragically, her kitchen modification budget seems to always over rule my truck modification budget...


and yet my food isn't getting cooked any faster.

My wife doesn't care what I do with my truck as long as her '76 Vette is running perfectly. I make sure that thing is tip top so I can have more time with the PowerStroke.

Ahh well, you gotta be selective somehow right? It'll be a good test for any women who are brave enough to venture into the dragon's den.

One of these days, you'll get a girl that'll tell you to go &*%$ yourself, and then take the wrench away from you and do it herself because you're going too slow.

Hahaha! I've heard em say that before. . . and probably won't be the last. . . but they'll never be faster than me!!!! Thing with me is. . . I don't put up with craziness. That being said I am sure I have plenty of crazy in me from the other side of the fence. . . but there is no sense is being with someone who you're not happy with. . . because in reality they can't be happy with you. So I'm straight forward and to the point. . . but one day i'm sure they'll be a girl who meshes with me quite well

LOL. Words to live by. I have been criticized, by a few men, that I come across too brazen..that I am too harsh and to the point.

No sense in beating around the bush And I'm sure you will Timmy.

My wife tends to give me "the look" when I mention working on the truck. So I just do it and don't mention it anymore.
