    I gotta love her

    My wife *rarely* comes down when I'm working in the shop. This morning she happened to come down when I was cleaning the blade for the BT3K. She said "I know you love your shop, but now I've seen it all. You're brushing it's teeth! What's next? Are you going to brush it's hair?"

            Some may think that does not happen but...

            My wife was in my shop the other day and she saw the nail polish (she forgot that she had given it to me) and ask why I had it in the shop? So I took her to the saw. She just looked at me, called me crazy and left the shop.

              In the very beginning, it was called "Saw paint". Now the women took it over, and they call it nail polish. Go figure!

                I think that is sounds like you got a pretty neat wife. Witty! Very cute of her.

                  Looks as if we are all pretty lucky in the wife dept.

                  Mine tolerates me more than she should.....sometimes.

                    I side-stepped tradition and painted my red line BLUE.

                    I remember hearing somewhere that blood is blue until it hits the air - or some saying like that. Besides, I'm from Michigan. I had to ....

                    GO BLUE!

                    Too bad about the bucks on Monday. Breaks my heart. Michigan sucked hard as well, but at least the embarrassment wasn't in the national championship

                    DOH!

                      I thought you guys were secretly painting your toe nails as kind of a brotherly forum member thing. You know like wearing jackets in a club or gang.

                          Ya your right ... the LOML "tolerates" more than I think most would, and I inturn have learned "the Looks" when we've been in any store that happens to sells tools ... you know, the ones that says volumes without any words spoken "is that REALLY necessary" then there is the "not on your life!"
