You never know.
I have too many projects. Currently 5 at the moment. I decided that something had to go. My 1950 Packard mainly because it's the most challenging one in the bunch to restore.
I wrote up an ad and was ready to put it online. And then the strangest thing happened. I told my wife that I was going to sell it and why and she said no. No way. Keep it. I told her that I didn't know when I could get to it. She said no problem. It's fine just where it is. If you get to it you do. If you don't you don't. I never saw that one coming. I thought that she would be happy to see it go but it turns out not to be the case. So the Packard stays. You never know.

Re: You never know.
Maybe the hidden message there is to change the project status of the Packard to "Start on now."

Re: You never know.
Sounds like she likes the Packard and wants to cruise around in it one day

Re: You never know.
maybe she just knows you will put the earnings into buying another project.
I say "finish it" too. no one has "I'm gonna" engraved on their tombstone.

Re: You never know.
Man up. Don't let her tell you what to do! If you let her get away with telling you to keep it, next thing you know she'll be telling you what to sell! Believe me. I know women. That's why I'm single. (or is it I'm single because I don't understand them? )

Re: You never know.
Whoa! She's either real generous or she is wanting something she has yet to tell you about maybe?

Re: You never know.
What are you talking about? THEY ARE ALWAYS RIGHT! Just ask my wife.
She is so cool with my affliction for cars. I drag them home and she smiles. She's not so cool if I don't take out the trash or leave a mess. I hear about that. Trust me on that one. Boy do I hear it then.

My x-wife let me know, before the 'x', that my interest in the old vehicles is one thing that she loved about me. When we met was right after the accident I had in my '69 Power Wagon. so my chick magnet was a barn find '55 1st Design Chevy pickup . She never once complained about all my stuff and I didn't need her permission to buy another I would enjoy a visit with you, here or there I'm sure. Hopefully some day. We are both into staying healthy. My mental health needs me to find humor. You know they say laughter is healthy. So is finding the humor in things.
