How do you know you've been in the shop too long...Your wife remarks your **** looks like a waffle from setting on a milk crate:)

So how do you know you've been in the shop too long?

When I didn't realize there was no sunlight left and I was still in there in the dark without turning on lights.
A friend who was over that day bought me a flexible flashlight to wear around my neck as a joke for Christmas.

When the wife comes in and sees a skeleton hunched over the workbench.

When I wake up with a dozen empties scattered about and my bladder feels like it's going to explode.

When the wife comes in and says do you know what time it is? I say nope, thats why I don't keep a clock in there.

Woke up from a sound sleep around 2 AM, and thought that since I was already awake, I could slip down to the garage, throw a few more coats of paint on the engine stand/rotisserie. And while down there, take measurements for the welding cutoff rack, maybe determine sizes of casters. Oh! And I need to move that bench to add a circuit behind it and..

... um, maybe I should put a cot in the garage?

When you're wrenching on the car with the garage door open and the sun goes down. And you keep wrenching and wrenching and then you hear the birds start singing like they do early in the morning before the sun comes up. And then the sun comes up.

I knew I was spending too much time in the garage when my wife developed separate knocks on the door to let me know when breakfast, lunch and dinner were ready.

I always figured it would be when the wife would come out and tell me to come into the house. In the last 14 years, she hasn't done it yet.

Either I haven't spent too much time out there or she enjoys when I'm not in the house ? :dunno:

I would have to actually drag my cold a$$ out there, shovel in front of the door, crank up the heat, go back later and start a job ....then......my wife might notice I am actually not in the house.

I just give myself a certain time when I'm going to quit for the night. It doesn't always work out to the minute, because I like to finish to a point, but it's close. I don't have to live in there, though maybe when it's finished, that might be more of a problem.;)
