It is really nice to have a partner.......

....... who is right for me.

Gustav's radiator needs re-coring. Darling Wife wants to know everything about taking car of our fleet of toys.

So - this afternoon, I was given the tasks of handing of tools and holding of light. She did everything else to get his radiator out.



I am so glad to be me .

Gustav is pure US set up - no Euro.

Darling Wife, on the other hand, is something of a mix. Some Eastern European (Polish) influence. Mixed with Fenian (think Irish folks smuggled to the US in bilge tanks). Lots of purdy.

Yeah, your DW amazed me with her knowledge and interest in Gustav and all things mechanical, electrical, etc. She is a gem. And tell her I can't find a full version of that cheerleader song on youtube. I'm still laughing about it.

Why thank you Bob - I'll pass along your compliments.

Cheerleader lyrics

Cheerleader Audio (no video, but it's the whole song).

You will have to dig up her account and get her on the page. But be careful or she may be working on the car all the time and you won't get near it!
Man, I want a 108 sooo bad. But I just spent all the funds on a 4x4 tractor

She pops in over here on occasion - rarely posts, but does look about if I've told her about a entertaining thread or two. And there is plenty to do on all of our cars (and house, and barn, and garden, and fence, and and and and and) to keep us both (and a cast of thousands ) busy for a very long time!

I dig a woman that is sincere about being involved in my car wrenching interests. Haven't run across one recently, but I'm still looking. If she can cook as well, that would be a plus.
