For mowst of us there are 2 seasons
#1. race season
#2. off season

For me #2 is "honey do" season. As you and I talked this weekend I have a mile long list things my wife has made up of things for her honey to do. If I get all of this stuff that she wants done then I am pretty much in the clear when it comes race season.

I have disassembled the chassis down so I can start fitting the rear end etc. Parts came today so I can get back on track here shortly.

:lol2: isn't that the truth lol

Don't get me wrong, my wife is GREAT to say the least... and she has been very tolerant through my racing cars, motor cross and now this (which by the way I am in for the long haul) :D.
But like Squidd said, where do they come up with some of this stuff? Like when you half way through a bathroom remodel and they say "we should paint the gameroom this week end"  :woo:

No but seriously, like a great man once said... "Hats of to the women who stand behind us racers"

I hear ya guys.
When I consider where I would be without her (probably in jail or the gutter somewhere heh heh) it's a small price to pay to keep her happy. Especially when I think about all of the things she does for me on a daily basis.

I am gonna try and find her a hobby, something that's just enough of a distraction to keep her busy and keep that honey do list in the junk drawer....

I wanted to get her on a mower but she won't do it. I think she is scared that once she gets on one she will be hooked.

Robert give me a call about that helmet color
