My wife only keeps me around for the important stuff, rubbing her feet and reaching the top shelves in the kitchen.  Our first date was in my old panel truck to a lumber yard to fetch the materials so she could build a loft in her tiny apartment, which she did.

Chris, you need a woman like this to help you take charge of your life and get that parts biz crankin'.  This is the same one who, when I fell and broke both my feet, rushed to my aid and threw open the screen door directly into those freshly-broken feet.  You simply learn to adjust to each other or you don't last.  If I need to cajole in order to get Vanagon/motorcycle/bike stuff it's no different from her having to convince me that her design for a porch addition must be built.  I was happy with the deck that was there; now there's a porch.  There didn't used to be a Westy in the driveway; now there is.

Thank goodness I have the love of my life to keep me directed, solvent, and focused on what matters.
