Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy

Oh, I know how to start my snowblower, you pull that handle on the stringy thing- really hard. .

Current crop of women have plenty of expectations.
Forget the fact that they hand out puzzie like campaign buttons and know fk-all about anything north of Facebook.

You 2 (two!) steppin SOB!!

Talking to my son, he's a kid that can fix things, and the girls think he walks on water because he can change an alternator. He's looking for the female equivalent, a girl that can cook from scratch....... I think he may have finally found one. It was a long search.

That show is the Best thing from Canada LOL

One of the most factual statements I’ve ever read.

I am fortunate in being so handsome that all of my other faults (there are many) are over-looked.

I got real lucky with my wife - yes, I still awe her with many things but she is really handy . She put all the tile in our bathrooms and all the hardwood floors throughout when we redid this old lake house we live in. She worked side by side on all the tear out, carting loads of crap to the bin to get rid of it. Not much she won't take on. Together we have redone 3 houses and built a million dollar business from a corn field, plus worked full time in our 25 years together besides raising 6 very successful kids. Now that we are retired, we are just finishing a complete gut job on a rental house our son bought. She has her own power miter and tile saw, plus shares my table saw and Spanker. Great gal.

My wife's a CPA and not very handy.

She didn't understand why I didn't want our son out in the shop when I made a form 1 silencer for his 22. I had her look up "metal lathe accidents" on YouTube.

Now she gets nervous when I do have him out in the shop with me.

My philosophy....
Even if I fugg it up it'll end up better than if I paid some supposed pro to do it.

Problem is, with my back and neck issues, I can't wrench or do stuff like I used to.
Kills me to pay somebody else.
Even when I can afford it.

Sometimes it's just easier to go to my reg job on a Sat and make the money to pay the guy doing the fixin on the same day.
Aint getting cold or wet.

Could do car stuff in the garage, if it wasn't full of women crap.

Shorty keeps asking why I drive an unlifted Jeep...........

Yep

Sadly a True Story ^^^

Only complaint with Cookie is she attempts to saw porcelain plates in half with the finest and sharpest of knives. Even cutting demonstrations where one only drags the tip across the surface does nothing to change her ways. She has tolerated my purchase of three $100+ Arkansas oil stones though.

I have no idea why, but with 70+ years behind me, I've never had need to rebuild a single carburetor.

My wife bought her own Suzuki DR650 a few months ago, purchased at quite a bit lower elevation town than our place, and when we got it home the jetting was off enough to make it not fun for her to ride, had a bad flat spot off idle, so I did my magic and rejetted it and now it runs perfect, impressed her immensely.

I've been married to my wife so long now I've learned how she says my name just before she is about to tell me something is broke (and I need to stop what I'm doing and fix it)

My wife is always amazed by me.

My darling wife is both more handsome, and hander than I am.

Do NOT voluntarily jump off that pedestal. Gently enjoy the perks. ;-{>8

Haha, what's a wife?

My wife thanks her lucky stars she found this handyman and uses that knowledge to her advantage.

All she has to do is threaten to hire another handyman to do something that I can redneck engineer myself.
