My wife is having a girls' weekend at the lake house, and has finally realized she doesn't know how to do anything out there besides drink craft beer and boss me around.  While we were out there last weekend she wanted me to show her how shit works out there.   I was showing her how to drive the Mule we have to take the trash to the dumpster.  

There is a parking brake handle to the left of the steering wheel and a gear shift on right with...

L
H
N
R

She asked where the "D" for Drive was, which was stupid but I don't fault her too much for that.  I tell her to put it in "H" and we drive to dumpster.  She then puts it in "R" and starts to open the door to get out.  I ask what the hell she's doing and she said "What??  I put it in "R" for Park."

She is on her girls' weekend, and needs to take the Mule to take some trash to dumpster.  Not sure why as she has only been there 12 hours but that's a different topic.  I just got this text...

 

""I turn the car on then put it in neutral then start to drive right?"

I could probably add a couple of pages to this thread just with the texts I will get over the next couple of hours.  They want to take our new boat out and against my better judgement I said ok.  One of the girls has a boat an apparently drives it all the time.

 

Last time we were both out there my wife wanted to take a video of me getting the boat ready to take out (taking cover off, lowering the lift, turning battery on, raising the tower).  We got 30 seconds in and she says "hold on, I just got a text" and for some reason it couldn't wait.  After she responded, I had to start over.  She then tells me to hold on again and I glance at her phone and it's on Instagram.  I lost it and just walked away before I shoved her in the lake.  It took her 5 minutes to realize I wasn't there anymore.

Laying in bed last night almost asleep.  Wife comes in and says "I think there is a pipe bomb on the front patio!" I talk for a few seconds to calm her down but shes having none of it.  I asked her if the guy who checked on the septic system may have left something and she says no.  Finally I get up and go outside to investigate the bomb.  It was a broken one of these:

I cannot say with any certainty that I would have been able to resist snatching the phone out of her hands and throwing it in the fuckin' lake.

I just got a text that they did in fact make it to the dumpster like it was some kind of big accomplishment.  Which in this case it probably is.

Boy, they had another glass of wine for that one!

Her- "Do you remember what shirt I wore last Friday? I can't remember but I don't want to wear the same one"

Me- "No, but if you don't remember then no one else does either"

Tone apparently

Oh, I get that one a lot. She'll say, but there are pictures. Will you look back on my facebook/instagram and see? Like all her friends and acquaintances are really scouring the internet and comparing what you wore then to what you're wearing this evening.....

Ha!  Regular guys like most of us wouldn't do that, but gay men and uptight chicks actually do this.

Fiance just called to tell me she's test driving a new SUV. . .we know how this ends right? I'm getting charged up for my full fledged membership here. Also, I was asked my opinion on groom's cakes. (Crossposted to fishing thread)

My wife is always dressing our children inappropriately for the weather.  I'll come downstairs, ready to take the kids to school and they'll be wearing shorts and t-shirts and it's 55 degrees outside.  She just outright doesn't believe in rain jackets.  I ask about warmer clothes and I get a glare because she takes it as a criticism (which it should be, but I withheld it and get blamed for it anyway).  That's the way it is now.  It used to be I'd look at how the kids were dressed and ask her, "Don't you know it's cold outside?"  She acts like *knowing* the weather is akin to *predicting* the weather.  I'm like, "Why don't you just open the fucking door and step outside?  You know the weather changes in Texas all the time.  There are some patterns."  She acts like I'm asking the impossible.

She must be hot.

My wife is attractive, not what she was pre-kids, but attractive.  (No pics, not sorry)

Not nearly the level of hot that you would expect coming from the stupid shit that comes out of her mouth.

Is that code for something?  Like "who wants to ride Space Mountain?"

They're going to spend the whole weekend making trash runs until the mule runs out of gas or they run out of wine.

Anyone want to guess what vehicle I'm riding in right now?

You said fiancé and you have to wait for her to buy something new so you can go get something new? lol
I've just been holding back because I'm cheap.

And we are not comingling funds in our marriage. Did that the first time, never again.

Two new car payments. Seems smart.
Paid for by mileage checks from our respective jobs. I will probably keep my paid for Accord and drive it until it dies and buy a used truck. Her mom and stepdad own a very successful automotive repair shop which certainly factors in to the arrangement.

 

 back on track as to why I even broached the subject - men will comparison shop and analyze an auto purchase while women just fall in love with something and buy it.

I don’t recal him mentioning financing for either the rogue or the truck.
