Got in trouble today
Spent the day working on corvette related projects. Bought a new jack and jack stands yesterday and decided to put together some wooden blocks for driving the car up on and making my own jacking pucks. Problem is the wife thought I should be putting up Christmas lights.

I know how you feel. Most of the time when I want to go do some work on the car my wife wants me to do something else.

I must have the most understanding wife in the world - she doesn't break my .........spirit (bet you thought I was going to say something else!)when I work on the car! 
She sees my time working on the car as a good thing - she says, at least she knows where I am. I could be surfing porno on the internet!
