No that isn't a large safety pin

My wife hardly ever comes around my barn(shop area). If she wants me she drives her car over. I go to the car to see what she wants. She doesn't like greasy looking things. That's fine with me. This after noon she surprised me, and came over while taking the dog for a walk. She came to where I was cutting up some scrap. She spots the torch striker on the ground, and says look, a large safety pin. It does kind of look like one. Yes I married a city girl, but she sure can cook, and lets me do my own thing. I am blessed to have a good wife. Stan
 
My wife grew up with a father who was an auto mechanic, so she knows a good bit. In fact a couple of years back she even went as far as to change the radiator in her car, with her Dad's supervision, while I was out of town.

As for mechanical stuff, and women in general, I had a customer's backhoe break down last winter in a Hooters parking lot. (((9He was scraping snow off the lot after a major storm came through)))). When I got done repairing it I went in to ask the manager where he wanted it parked so it was out of the way. When I told the girls at the door I needed to see the manager to find out where to put the backhoe now that I was done working on it. It was funny because they both gave me that "duh what" stare, and asked me, 'where I needed to put what?'. When I explained it again, you could see the light go on for one of them and she said, 'OH, that tractor thingy...". It was all I could do to keep from dying laughing, but I just confirmed her thoughts and said, 'Yeah, that tractor thingy'.......
 
I tried to explain the hit an miss engines and how they work to my wife. I then asked her do you understand now? She said yes, they all turn and they all putt...
 
My wife and I have been married, and lived on the same place for 20 years. If you blindfolded her, and turned her out on the back of it, she would have no idea where she was at.
 
LOL Cheif, I married a city Gal also. But i actually got her half way converted. Now shes city redneck. But those cooking skills are off the chain good. And can outwork most men i know when it comes to yardwork and her love of flowers. Even got pictures of her bush hogging with the 135 Massey Ferguson. Come to think about it she might have suckerd me into marrying her cause she needed someone who could fix all the stuff she broke. (Sigh)in need to look into that more ... Shes still one heck of a cook. LMAO
 
Not tractor or farm related, but funny.

After the birth of my sister's first child, my mother and other sister went to see her in the hospital. Mom had gotten Linda a baby spoon with a long handle.

Being from Texas, when Linda saw it, she said "Oh look, a baby iced tea spoon!"

We've never let her live it down.

ounds like my Wife.
Come to think of it neither would i.
I was at one time baling at night in the dark in one of my fields that is surrounded by bush ,..there was no moon and all of a sudden the lights quit on the tractor....pitch effen dark
Took me 2 hrs and 5 trips around the field before i found the trail home. :shock:
 
I can sometimes get help if I really need it, but dirty emergencies don't go over well. I even had help castrating the last group of piglets which really surprised me. There are lots are lots of redeeming qualities in there somewhere!
