Thread: Soooo 2013

seems to have just as many challenges as 2012 did - at least for me...

My truck has died and now i need another vehicle. Figured "Woo Hoo - a Motorcycle!" But SWMBO is driving me nuts. Looks like the only way to peace is buy her a newer car and i get the crappy old corolla which she has managed to ding in nearly every panel.
At least i can still hold a razor and enjoy a shave. and no matter what it takes, i will be back to producing knives and razors
this year- both forging and stock removal.... eventually...
Anyhooo... if anyone in Australia is thinking about building a grinder i have some spare parts that may help. V-Link drive belt, step pulleys, drive shaft, plans... just shoot me a PM and i will try to help your dreams workout.
Stay Sharp,
Adam

There seems to be a middle period in everyman's life where the vehicle of his dreams is driven only in his dreams. The day to day trafficking in children and the need to protect them in a van-like box-crap hauler, plus each individual collection of bags of gear for the wee one's occurs entirely against the male wish. No such vehicle is meant to attract women, except those who recognize the practical influence, on such men, of women of common sense. No such vehicle will be the sin-bin of fantasy either.

Suck it up until the kids are gone, then you can buy the road machine you've patiently waited for, and she'll steal that one too. LOL

Me, I bought a Jeep with just enough road clearance it's uncomfortable for her short pegs to get her rump onto the seat. She doesn't like to have to climb up to get in. Now I have a car all to myself. Although she drives the BMW over the dirt roads around here like she works for the tear-the-wheels-off warranty testing service.

Ahh, stop yer whingeing. I've had to get around on a bicycle the last 2 years .

I drive an ancient F250 pickup, 1976, my War Ministry hates it, so it will not be stolen by her. The only reason I lock it is to stop people from dumping rubbish into it !

No, no, no...Not true. Here is a photo of my kiddie mover...They don't have to be ugly boxes at all . I get around by motorbike as my personal choice of transport though. Beats a pushbike .
