Well, I've got to rave about my great new tool in the shop...my wife! :p My uncle had come out earlier to see if he could get the rear seat out, well he gave up after awhile so I gave it a shot, I had alittle trouble figuring what it was stuck on. So I asked my wife if she wanted to come hang out in the shop abit and hold the light for me. Well she took over and within 45 seconds had it figured out and half way off. Better yet, because she's so small, she crawled up into the BACK of the trunk and got the back of the rear seats off too. Man, was I impressed! Now whenever I need to get to tight spaces, I just call her outside and away she goes! :thumbsup:

I just wouldn't let her see this thread, where you're referring to her as a "tool". :D

And how does she like it when you spray a little brake clean on her at the end of the night before you put away in the tool box?? ;)

When someone calls me a tool I usually punch them.

I hate it when that happens, but do appreciate it. Miss Joan has kept me from breaking a bunch of stuff by intervening......Same thing happens at work with my admin. She runs the place, I just show up and sign checks.

hmmm, yeah she never did like that backseat much, haha. ;) She's already picking "Her" car that she wants me to build for her after I get done with the 66...now that I know she's able to do it herself I'm may just drag it up on my trailer and dump it in the yard and say, "Have at it!" :thumbsup:

ROTFLMAO.....Sorry Pal, couldn't resist...You win... :D


Hahaha, my reputation obviously precedes me. We Canucks are a blood-thirsy lot, for sure. And don't forget, we went quite sometime without a good hockey fight to let our natural aggressions out on. We're all going around picking fights, trying to get someone to say something bad about hockey, donuts, beer, or the CFL.

I think it's safe to say we'll be sending you Yanks ALL of our Arctic Air this winter!!! Mooohuhuhuhuhaaaaaa!!!!

i discovered that asset a long time ago. my wife is a huge help on my projects. she is an avid puzzle worker so everytime i get into something that takes some thought as to how it comes apart or goes together she is a natural at it. also, the smaller hands and fitting into small spaces deal is a huge advantage. a while back i was changing out the door lock mechanism in my elky (switching from 72 to 68 stlyle [a long story]) anyhow since you have to reach back inside and really cant see what you are doing i took a rod assembly out of another door and had her practice putting it back together with one hand until she could do it blind folded. took her about 30 seconds to reach into that blind spot and hook it all up. conratulations on discovering your new help.

Man, can I take a Mulligan, my wife pounds the wrong puzzle piece until it's lodged, not fits, lodged.
