You might have the perfect wife there... Buys you toys and helps with the cleaning and the install, and demands beer to help her work?

Are you kidding me???

You get the "you **** award " for today...

Enjoy!

Dude, that rocks! A wife that is that understanding of your hobby! Wow! All my wife ever asks when I'm working in the garage is "Which car can I take to the store?". To her credit though, she doesn't object to me buying cabinets and tools either.

I wouldn't be lucky enough for your wife to have a sister, would I?? Old Rotarys are a good find.......as was your wife! Happy birthday and be careful.

Very cool! You'll love it! My wife insisted on getting all the options on our lift, saying the extra cost would pay itself back the first time we used it.
