Title: Don't think the wife is interested
Post by: silver star on December 11, 2015, 07:04:49 PM: Into the second month of the second season of my boiler, and still learning about wood consumption and all the other wonders of the topic.

Each time I return to the house I give a status update on the boiler temperature and how the coals look.

She politely acknowledges what I have to say, but I don't think she is as fascinated about it as me. What's up with that?

She appreciates neat toys though. Was in the UK and visited an air museum that had the first prototype Concorde on display, she thought it was cool.

If it hits 60 Saturday like they are claiming she said she’s gonna wash and wax the G400. Been kinda dusty here lately.

I have a 99 Dodge Cummins 4x4 that’s pushing 500hp, Sun transmission, 5” stacks, 1200 watt stereo.

Ive heard from a few people she’s done the random holeshot with it where and there when I let her drive it.

If she’s neglecting her wifely duties it’s time to let her drive it, just like a female version of viagra for her.

My wife always watches the gauges on the supplys and returns on both sides. Its great because I always have nice updates about what the boiler is doing without having to go outside to look at it. :D
