Shop Rules :
Rule #1 No girls in the shop!
End of rules.
:shhh:

Well I'm thankful I don't have that rule. One time I needed to split a tractor real quick. My wife came and helped me. Her hands were just a greasy as mine were. She was not very impressed but I got the help I needed. This year will be anniversary # 38.

Another time the neighbor came over for a safety on his truck. He brought his wife and 1.5 year old daughter. We all ended up having a good time visiting.

I have a lot to be thankful for. Married 53 years to my college sweetheart. Been some stressful times and fights, but we took the "till death" thing seriously. And I'm delighted we did. She's partially disabled now and I have to help her get around sometimes. Unfortunately my workshop/tractor shed is out of her range now - but I wish it wasn't. I enjoyed the company. Overall we are deeply blessed - our retirement home, all one story and fully accessible - is in the middle of our 120 acres - mostly forest - and one mile off the road.

This may not be quite what the OP is looking for, but when I first heard about this explosion yesterday my first thought was about how many people must have been working there.
Large explosion at Jay, Maine paper mill, no one injured, officials say

A coworker who is not religious at all sent me an email saying

If you are someone that prays this would be an appropriate time

It's going to hurt that community and all of the suppliers for that mill; but miraculously, nobody was seriously hurt.

I'm thankful that President Trump WON in 2016.

I'm thankful that my Dad taught me to always be prepared and that so far only one poster has tried to drag this thread down into the swamp.

I'm thankful that my parents instilled in me the importance of "Responsibility". This has enabled me to make decisions that have led to a lifestyle that is well within our means with financial security, free of debt and with minimal risk.

I've watched too many people live their lives on the "financial bubble", being one paycheck away from financial ruin. That must me a difficult life to live.
