The run of bad luck continues

[Bird]

We hit 40 years together this September. By now, any issues we had are long past or we learned to live with them. Seldom a day goes by that I don't think about just how lucky I've been.

I think that's also known as old age. But I certainly agree, especially with the lucky part, since we celebrated our 42nd anniversary nearly 2 months ago.

Just gotta chime in here... my ex husband totaled 3 trucks in 3 months. With the lawn tractor he destroyed all the saplings we had planted. So far the only thing I can say is I backed a TLB into the pole barn door and made a small hole (now let's hope my luck doesn't run out now!)

what she's leaving out is "small" is relitive... to the fact you could DRIVE THROUGH the "small hole"

I think it's sorta like gps built into the wedding ring... Mines the same way too..

Yeah, they're real good at noticing if you're checking out another woman's charms too.
My wife knows even if we're on opposite sides of a store.

Yeah, she knows she ran into it. Your telling her won't do anything except make you feel good for about 3 minutes, then it will make your back hurt for 3 weeks from sleeping on the couch.

HEHEH here it is a fight for who gets the couch. the best 2$ i ever spent.

Me I couldent stand a priss. the first thing to go out the door is the collor quardinated luggage the 2nd thing would be mis priss on her prat.

Mine is more likely to be found with the wrenches under the hood of the nearest machine. She even plays on the puter.

cp1969 I am glad to hear there were no anvils harmed in the making of your storie.. that would be a flogging in my household

And I have no idea how i"m going to broach the subject with the wife of not hitting stuff.

You just did, honey...

 

[Soundguy]

Now if that don't send shivers up the old spine.. (grin)

This thread has made our day.
42 yrs today and I by my own admisson have done more minor damage than the Sandra. That said her gaffes generally result in me having to do serious rework to decks (smacked corner skewed whole thing and ripped part off house) drain lines( ate while tilling for posie patch, red line on ground ignored).
Still the best 42 yrs. I have lived and loved.
May everyone be as fortunate and happy

Soundguy, I have astutely identified your problem. It is not with you, nor your wife.

You just don't have wide enough gates.

The wife takes the little tractor (03 MF 1433) out to finish off the chipper yard story below.
I get a call from the wife
"tractor is broke"
"also I broke a tree and i hit the fence and broke a rail"


Unbelievable
Go out to the site
PTO doesn't come on.
gotta be the switch. Actually, it better be the switch because I have no other ideas beyond that. Get the electrical meter, yep, it's the switch.
[bad word, bad word, bad word]

Load it up, head back to the shop
the wife hits the mirror of the truck on the fence backing it in.

You have got to be kidding me. So, now I get to do all the jobs, because for some reason, she's either not paying attention or she's failing to learn the lessons of driving. Yes, people run into things, but NOT ON EVERY SINGLE JOB.

And of course, out of 3 reasonably local dealers, no one has the switch, ordered it, drop shipped overnight to my house. So, it won't be here til saturday and now it costs like $100.

BTW, attention dealers. If i have to pay to order it anyway, there's no reason for me to buy local. I realize you can't have everything, but it feels like all the dealers have nothing. Just my FYI. If i gotta order it anyway and pay shippng, I'm going lowest cost.

So, i'm down a tractor yet again. I feel like I need to buy yet another tractor just to have 3 to keep 2 running.
And I have no idea how i"m going to broach the subject with the wife of not hitting stuff.

Another craptastic week. This is getting old.

Brian, if I may. Remember the first rule of "Holing." When you are in one; quit digging.
