Whenever there is something to be done on my truck, I can't seem to think about anything else.  I usually only get a couple of hours a week to work on it in between chasing a kid around and the work that actually pays the bills.

I think i need a vacation where all i do is spend time with the truck. Not sure my wife would appreciate that though!!  :burnout:

Anyone else have this issue?

I have a bigger issue with lethargy or bad weather getting in my way, stuffed somewhere inside a 50 hour work week

You can go through life being scared of the possible, or you can have a little fun and tease the inevitable.

Give a man venison, he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to hunt Blacktail, he'll be frustrated for life!

As you know, your kids should be your most important "project".

Making love to your truck is really important.... but it's relative.

If you don't do this already..... I recommend that you take 1 hour out your "couple hours" and take your wife out to a nice breakfast, lunch or dinner and tell her how much you appreciate her.

Don't worry Gnarls, family always comes first, second and third!  Wife gets treated like a queen and she knows it. Great advice for everyone though.

Can't wait until my little girl can hold a wrench!

You're a good man!!

When I was young, naive, unaware, and self-absorbed, I didn't realize I was tipping the scale of my life in the wrong direction.  As I got older, and gained some wisdom, I realized, at times too late, my scale should have been tipped in the other direction.

One of my biggest regrets in my life is.... I wanted a little girl to spoil.
