Yes just as it says.
A few weeks back I broke the idler pulley, spacers and belt. Well, I got so livid I decided to leave the car alone for a week and a half. I started working on it again and accidentally stabbed myself and could not finish the car because my cut kept opening back up. The stabbing was in no relation to working on the car.
So I sat with the Marauder in pieces and being angry that I could not finish the work due to my injury... plus Becky didn't want me messing up my hands.
While at work yesterday, she texts me asking where the car keys are and to my shock she started fixing the car. Not shocked that she had the ability, but shocked that she even bothered to do it because of all of the "maintenance" that has been popping up lately.
Zack and I kept getting picture texts asking
"Does this line up properly?"
"Is it safe to bolt the tensioner on now?"
WOW! :eek:
Here is what she had to say on her facebook...
"And just as the thunderstorm was rolling in, I finished fixing my husband's car. I replaced his battery and my battery. I then replaced his idler pulley, bolted his supercharger back onto the engine block, bolted the tensioner pulley onto the engine block, replaced his serpentine belt, connected the pipe to the supercharger that connects to the air filter and then connected the air filter. Most women don't like to do car stuff, but it really is fun. Especially when your husband is at work and people are looking at you like you have an arm growing out of your head. Thanks to Zack and Dominick Dolio for approving my pics! — feeling accomplished"
So I come home from work at 1am to find my car back together and ready to take on the world.
I married a keeper.
You might say "You owe her big time now and you need to do something special... wink wink."
The truth is I don't. We already do stuff like this for each other, usually randomly and for no reason. We don't wait for someone to be upset and try to cheer them up, or one of us does something the other disapproves of and now we have to do something nice... nope. This is just how our relationship is.
