Wife is gone right now for while to her dad who is sick. So like tonight I set up two tv trays in living room so I could watch TV. Brought in newspapers and started tearing my tractor carburator apart. Got out the cleaner and sprayed it down good. Got my knife out and scraped some to. ..Wife called and wanted to know what I was up to! I told her I was a cleaning my carburator while watching TV. She said" What?" I repeated my self and she says... good thing I am not there right now! You would not be doing that in my living room! LOL I laugh and said.. but your not here and I will have it done for you are home again. lol She did tell me I better have it all cleaned up and not on her carpet. One thing I did not tell her was. That I was sating in her favorite chair doing it. LOL I thought that was a little to much to tell her.
Besides she was gone anyway. lol

I remember one winter my dad and I wanted to saw up some trees, but the chain saw wouldn't start. We decided it was too cold. My mother was at work, so my dad and I did the logical thing and took the chain saw into the kitchen to warm it up and get it started.

Things didn't go quite fast enough. About the time we got the saw started, reved up good, and the kitchen full of blue smoke, mom walked in the door.

Man, you talk about someone throwing a conniption! At least I got to go home to my wife. My dad had to face mom all evening.

A Plump Wife and a big barn never did any man harm.

Just a little lacquer thinner on a rag held in front of the furnace intake will send her gagging and coughing out of the house in short order. Then you can have the run of the place. Stuff works as well as diesel on a wasp.

I'm so with you. It sometimes makes me concerned when my wife doesn't have the kitchen clean enough. When I am trying to repair a hydraulic pump or an automatic transmission in the kitchen, sometimes she doesn't understand that I do so to prevent contaminant from getting into them. It defeats the entire purpose for her to try spreading flour out while I am working in the kitchen on equipment that has such close tolerances. When will wives learn that it is not clean enough in the shop/barn to take an axial piston pump apart. I need a very clean kitchen for such precise work. Believe me when I say that I have tried to explain what will happen if some grain of sugar gets between the barrel and plunger of a Detroit Diesel N70 injector that I had spread out on the table shortly before the meal was to be eaten.

I had a friend whose father built sail boats in the dining room, and the friend overhauled car engines in the kitchen, on the table. They also repaired outboards. His mother finally got so disgusted that she moved out-never to return!
