Dirty work

Over the past couple of weeks I have gotten all dirty, greasy, grimy and sweaty countless times working on the '79 Buick and I have not minded one bit. There is something uniquely satisfiying about wrenching and working on a old car or any car for that matter.

My wife does'nt understand. I cannot fault her for that. She should not have to and I do not expect her to.

Not to sound sexist, and I apoligize if this does, but wrenching, taking apart and restoring an old car is a "guy thing" , It is manly work at it's best. It is a slow quiet conversation to mutual understanding between man and machine.
