long story and a riddle, wheel bearings

Post by ron criswell » Wed Sep 03, 2014 6:55 pm

Speaking of wives.....mine....when we used to camp, took forever to pack everything including the kitchen sink. I....on the other hand could pack quickly when just me was going, taking pride in myself on how little time it took me to go. Then when reality would hit me square in the face I would say "Forks, forks.....where are the forks....and knives.....and....? She doesn't mess with my tools (or bearings). I look at closets full of clothes keeping a tight lip....and sigh realizing Peace is better than War (heh). Criswell Sent from my iPad
