    Those of you that get the GGG, have you read the Low Down?

    I had to laugh as I read it, and when I finished I yelled at Miss Tina and told her to read it. After she did she threw it back in my lap and said "Thats right and don't you forget it!"

    Good stuff Kirk!

    It made me think about all she really does. I get caught up into thinking about all the time I spend in the shop getting our old iron ready for what ever trip we are planning.

    While she is in charge of reservations, route planning, map reading, budget, gas card, feeding me, medical aid when that nuked burrito upsets my tummy, registration forms, T-shirt orders from friends that seem to always say "bring me back a T-Shirt", and helping with the car clean up when we get there and when we get back. And problably hardest of all standing there with a smile as she hears me spout off the same stories she has heard a thousand times, and she never corrects me as the details always seem to change.

    Then there is the packing, child care arrangements. Well that ain't hard we just drop him off at Grandma's. I swear I would problably just show up in a pair of jeans and a HAMB shirt and then spend the next 5 days in them, while sleeping in the back seat of my car living on a supply of 7-Up and Micky Dee's.

    Oh and lets not forget the pictures, autographs, and various parts and pieces she keeps a eye out for at the swap meets we go to.

    Anyway, I feel ya KIRK! I really do.

    I have one of those too.

    Oh wait, I think they have met!:D

    My wife of 14 yrs. is the best. She takes total care of me. I'd be a mess without her.

    Not to mention all the "car" stuff she does.

    Too many times she's been in a car wearing my old flannels, safety gl***es tearing headliners full of mice **** out.
    Putting in insulation on floors or roofs.
    doing MOST of the cleaning of the cars before we leave.

    And putting up with my obsessive buying/selling/trading of cars. I have done it a time or two:D

    She rocks.

    Glad you liked it. I'm still so surprised to hear that people read what I write.
