So the new radiator just showed up. Snoop dummy dumb said he
can put it in all by his wittle self. I told the wife that was his code for
"I will screw this up royally". Well he called the wife and asked if
we had the tools to swap radiators out. I looked at the wife and said "I
thought Mr. Good wrench had this covered". The wife asked if he could
borrow mine.
Years ago I learned a
valuable lesson in life. When you get a shiny new tool don't show it off. Ohh
it will be tempting but as soon as you do people will start pestering the crap
out of you to borrow it. I came up with a fix to the problem.
The wife and I went
to the shed. I showed her my little tool box filled with rusty sockets and
broken ratchets, a few crescent wrenches and assorted crap. "See hun, all
my tools are missing or crap, I can't help him". Now tucked away in the
back of the shed I have a second tool box. The one that sits in the cardboard
box marked Hot Rod 1978-1992. As my wife has no real interest in anything
automotive (she is a Dodge owner after all) it is one place she will never
venture and my collection of tools stays safe from the B-I-L.
