Note to listservers....
So my husband read aloud the fiance/Karmann Ghia/big valve story to me...
Ya'll out there are bad people. Bad people who my husband continually
refers to when he tells me "see, it could be worse". (Like the dude who was
washing parts in the wife's dishwasher.) William was smart enough to not
venture past the bathtub- and frankly I think that was a bit of a ruse to
get me to wholeheartedly endorse the purchase of a parts washer- yes I
drove 30 miles and picked it up myself.
This is probably the wrong place to share my "poor wife feelings"- but
somebody out there has to have some sympathy when the guest bedroom for the
in-laws (meaning MY mother) is half full of toolboxes and cartons of
"genuine German oil filters" bought on ebay.
The man only had one small toolbox when I married him- so noone can say "I
should have known what I was getting". Oh- and I almost forgot to mention-
has anyone else had the Snap-On company offer to come by their house with
the truck???????? Anyone have any idea how many tools you have to buy
before Snap-On DELIVERS???
