    Thanks for the welcoming here. Staying with someone is easy all you have to do is "agree to disagree" or you can be a "yes dear" man. Ether way at some time you have to let the other do what he or she wants to do for them selves ( you know without the other). I worked on 5-30+ mil $ custom homes mostly in Country Clubs with the Electrical bid/bill being in the neighborhood of $ 1/2 a mil. I am not much up on new car systems ( you know drive by wire "shit") just an old school kind of a guy.

    My second wife and I do this. We live together, and allow each other to have hobbies. It's a beautiful thing.

  12. Welcome to tha H.A.M.B. We have a few things in common. The same age, also married to my sweetheart for 42 years, with two daughters, three grand kids, and another one on the way. They love the Hot Rods, and road trips. I think you need a 56 Chevy like your second car, maybe trade a couple Honda s for one.:rolleyes: Ron...

    Thanks Ron, I don't have a couple of Honda's only one with 260,000+ on the ticker and still going good. I would like to get my hands on a 57 Chevy 3100 though, I do miss my 55 3100 2nd series design and as well my Wife likes those year of Trucks also.

    From your avatar, I just assumed you were Hiram Abiff, the widow's son.

    And I still don't know who Hiram Abiff or the widow's son is. My avatar has nothing to do with me being a Mason which "I am Not one", but then most of my past Relatives were so I guess I have Mason Blood in me so I try to do the same of what they stood for as Mason's. I hope that Hiram thing is cleared up because I still don't know who he is nor do I care too.
