I can think of a million and one reasons why I already have the greatest wife in the world. Everything from being outright goofy (those of you who have met her know she's kind of a nut), to doing yard work when I don't want to, to being excited to go to car shows with me, just because I like to. Sure I do my part also, but yesterday I was given one more reason, number one million and two, that I thought I'd share.
A package came to the house addressed to Jen, so I didn't open it, although I was curious. When she saw it, she got really excited and told me it was my Hanukkah present. Well, what's a few weeks away, so I stuck it in the closet and said I'll open it then. Not being one to keep surprises very well at all, she absolutely insisted I opened it, or she would. "Okay, yes ma'am," and these are the pictures...
Apparently she had gone through all my pro car books and made note of the ones I had, and then went to eBay and found all the ones I didn't. She successfully bid on these four, and now I'm a year behind in my education!
And while I'm on the subject, short and funny story (reasons one million, and one million and one). We're lying in bed watching mindless tv to fall asleep to, and I stop on the Mecum auctions. It happened to be the vintage motorcycle auction, so we watched it for a few minutes. My question - "What do think DOHC means?" Without hesitating, her reply - "dual overhead cam." My next question (looking at an early Indian) - "What do you think that is?" Her reply - "I'm not sure. But, it looks American from the style of the fenders and the sidecar." After this, I quit asking questions.
So yes, I guess I'll keep her...
PS She got all four for less than $100 after shipping too!
