Hubby and his Tools
Posted 09.07.2008 at 01.06 PM by Cybergal
It is mind boggling how ones husband can adore, love, enjoy, admire tools.
For my husband it is truly..."Tool Time"...whenever he has the chance to, what he calls..."Tinker".
The garage is not that far from the house and you would think that he would hear me calling him for dinner...NOT!
He had some air compressor running and some other machines going and even if I were to ask what he was doing, I could never possibly understand his explanation.
Anyway, I called him for dinner several times within an hour and a half till I was getting pretty pissed off.
I being stubborn refused to go and get his butt for I felt he should be able to hear me and or his stomach would tell him it's time to eat.
The neighbor just "happened by" in his words, but I think he was more curious as to why I was sitting on the back steps, talking to myself and inserting 4 letter words as I rambled on.
I asked my neighbor to do me a favor and to take my husband his cell phone for he had a phone call.
Guess who was on the other line?
"HEY @@@####! It's time for dinner! Would you mind putting your toys down for a bit so we could eat? YOU didn't hear me calling you?"
"NO honey! Iam having fun taking apart the chipper-mulcher and sharpening the blades and I've got pieces of it laying all over the garage and etc......"
I didn't hear anything after that.

| |  LOL I'm sorry Nanc but that's just too cute. I know you were mad as all hell and I've been there myself but be thankful you have the opportunity to have him. |

| |  Ah, yes, the Joys of Tool Time! Mine does it too. But I cannot complain too much; I'm just as bad! There is a certain joy in creating something from nothing, or making something work again... But you do have my sympathy, because at least I can understand and participate in the addiction. LOL! |

| |  No problem here...This seems to be a common complaint from the gals.My shop is detatched from the house and I got tired of hearing the same thing.Cell phones don't work because you can't always answer. So I rigged up a loud doorbell so I can hear it over the tunes.All she has to do is push the button in the house and I know it's dinner time..If it rings that second time,I know I better run like the wind...  |
