Stacy,

I do all of the cooking in my household, but that still wouldn't fly with my wife having a transmission on the kitchen counter! Good luck with the rebuild.

Says the guy who makes fresh pasta at the track at Watkins. After he brings homemade gravy and braciole! How many did we feed? 50 plus? All I did was cook the fresh pasta and sauce it. You need to try Jim's food. And soon wine from his micro winery.

Stacy, surely the actual situation is that your wife is visiting family on the other side of the country, and she has no idea that you're rebuilding a cast iron gearbox on her kitchen counter top?

Cheers! .... and good luck!

O, ye of little faith.

Stacy - I'm speechless!

That's an impressively large concession granted for doing "most of the cooking"

Cheers!

Ok Stacy, tell the truth, you threatened your wife with no dinner if she didn't hold up that sign. Right?

Wow - you have a peach of a wife. I’m not complaining about mine but she would would throw me out (of the kitchen) if I tried that. Hmm - maybe, it’s because I don’t cook.

I am very lucky to have a good wife that supports my car stuff.

However, there was the time that I asked her about phosphating some hood hinges on the cooktop (adjustable heat source + vented hood = logical plan). That plan was quickly scrapped.
