    Well, I resisted as long as I could. My daughter and I were Travis Tritt fans when she was in high school.

    Couples who can laugh together have the strongest bond (as you know). I hope y'all can get your vehicles sorted out soon.

    Sorry to tell you this, Beth, but Marie isn't laughing with her husband, she's sounds more pissed than anything. They need to talk about things. Her hubby seems to overpower her.
    He wants to keep putting money into old vehicles and she totally resists, but her resisting isn't doing her any good, except upsetting her.
    Think it's time for Dr. Phil. Maybe?

    Hubby said he could teach ol Dr.Phil a few things.:D
    I said what, how to keep taking a car apart and putting it back together in the same condition.
    I'm laughing so hard and he is grinning so guess its all ok.

    I doubt that Dr.Phil knows how to turn a wrench. Maybe he could turn a wench...

    Oh, zip it. You don't know anything about Marie and her husband. And Dr. Phil is for morons. (He will sell you his latest book, though!!)

    I worked on a wench brake shoes on a HUGE ship, Starfish fishing vessel. It lasted about 2 hours. A giant Greek muscle man had me hold a tool while he hit it with a sledgehammer. I was eaten up with sand flea's from crossing Port Everglades shipyards. Then up a 6 story scaffle to a wobbly gangplank. I've had all kinds of jobs that didn't last long.

    I thought they were playing a trick on me,I told them there are no brake shoes on a ship. Good thing most couldn't understand English. The brakes were on the wench. Whatever that is.
    They sent me back across that yard for a bastard file, yep there is such a thing. It was hard trying to describe that file to the guys in parts, since I didn't want to cuss, but they said 'you mean a bastard file?' yea thats it. I finally passed out on deck barely made it over the gangplank. I woke up with what looked like weightlifting crew looking over me. Helped me off the ship and I never looked back.Those guys worked hard and it showed.

    Winch. Not wench. I don't think they allow the second kind on board ship.
    But in a sense you were right...wenches don't have brakes. ;)

    I'm still confused about that, they said it was brake shoes on the Wench,Winch that was in 1975 or so. I know we were knocking pins out of something, and I had to keep adding WD30 to it to loosen them I guess.

    Maybe Don can tell us what it was, @Don Alaska do you know what it was.
