She's a lot tougher than I am. She tore the foreman up one side and down the other. She doesn't put up with any nonsense or excuses. I know because I've tried both and it doesn't work.

They put in a long day today and worked until dark. A lot got done. When all else fails call in Mama. Mama don't take no mess.

I've gained many customers by just being honest. Do what you say your going to do. The trick is hiring workers that are dependable. Because when they don't show up I am a liar. This is why I don't tolerate people who aren't dependable.

Easier said than done unfortunately.

You don't have to tell me. I've been on the receiving end of that one myself more times than I care to remember.

How is she about you calling it that?

Women learn as little girls about the power of their "sexual apparatus", so to speak. Things they can say that would get a guy in a fight, and when she says them to some guy, they cringe off.

Ha, I don't around her.
I've been married to her for 48 years and I have learned the boundaries.
A man's got to know his limitations.

Yep...when she changes from English to Portuguese I've crossed that line and make myself scarce.

Oh yeah. When my ex wife would start yelling in Spanish I knew that it was time to look for the nearest door.

Mine only spoke English but somehow I always knew when it was time to go out and pull weeds

Been cleaning out old toys from my sons and grand kids. Most went to new homes. Kept a few for my grandsons “collection” of his dads old stuff. I told myself I don’t need any more more, but … I kept these.

I don't care for the Hot Wheels with advertising, like that '62 C10 with Trix cereal all over it. But I envisioned something better since they did come with nice Real Rider wheels/tires. I went with the era look with the whitewalls on mags and made my own customs. The blue one has a metallic blue interior and is closer to stock. The metallic green one is mild custom with chrome grille and white interior. Not super detailed adult customs. More like how Hot Wheels might have done them, but without the chrome bed interior and chassis

I totally agree on your thoughts about the silly graphics on the truck. I just liked the overall look and stance. You did great work on yours. My guess is Ill never find the motivation to actually do what you did with yours.

Speaking of trinkets…

This addiction is reely getting ugly…

That looks like a jewelry box not a trinket box. Do you use them or are they so collectible that would ruin the value? As you can see I know nothing about reels =)
