Who Knew?

[Ellis Kinney]

I recently found out that an iced tea spoon is NOT a tool. I slipped one out of the kitchen drawer to clean some gobs of old grease out of the front wheel hub of a Farmall M and SWMBO may have noticed. I was going to clean it up nicely with gas before I returned it to the drawer. I have a cot in the barn. Ellis

Did she make you eat supper with that spoon?

 

[grizz02]

well played you sly devil is that all it takes to be left alone in the barn with tools and tractor? let me guess your next move will be you have not been punished enough maybe another week or two should do it😭

 

[Steve@Advance]

My wife is the same way.

If she sees a cooking utensil go out in the garage, no matter how innocent the use, she refuses to allow it back in the kitchen.

I have to be real sneaky!

I get used kitchen tools for the shop at yard sales or thrift stores, usually for 25 cents or less. That has saved a lot of arguments and grief.

I picked up a coffee can full of spoons, forks, and knives at an auction. Hadn't thought about bidding on them, but they got shoved into a corner with some things that I did want. Kind of handy gadgets to have around the shop.

 

[M-MAN]

Learned a long time ago to use the kitchen and it's utensils only when the better half is away.

 

[Farmall plowboy]

My thoughts and prayers are with you!

 

[Traditional Farmer]

My grandmother would have described your situation as being "Under Petticoat Rule".

In my house the kitchen is mine and my wife knows to stay out of it if and when I am in the kitchen. Plus any thing in it is mine to use as I see fit. I've had more then one flywheel ring gear in the oven and more then one flywheel in the freezer. Etc. etc.

Would be a tool for me, tea just ruins good water. Boston Tea Party was a failure..

 

[Pops1532]

You know those little funnels that are handy for filling salt and pepper shakers? For some reason my wife can never find hers. Good thing for me she's never thought to look in the garage for them.

How about that paint job that needs to be baked? Powder coat paint. The kitchen oven even has a very acurate thermostat. Regular paint you set that t stat at the lowest possible setting and let it do a slow cure paint job. Works great. I am single. Got rid of the x long ago.

 

[Michael Soldan]

It works both ways. For 50 years I have lived with a woman who will get a butter knife out of the drawer to use as a screw dr.iver. There are a few knives in the drawer with damaged ends. I tell her that downstairs is a full set of screwdrivers in every type possible

 

[ss55]

Kinda like when the kids borrow tools?

 

[Billy Shafer]

Who knew you were not supposed to. Wash all colors of clothes together. With plenty of bleach and hot water. So they changed colors a little. Looked pretty good to me. Cot sleeping isn't to bad.

 

[Oregon Tractor Jack]

Who knew that the dishwasher was not for washing a nasty old carburetor. I couldn?t get the smell out of the dishwasher before I got caught.

A mate of mine washed the head of a 1952 TED Ferguson in the dishwasher . He couldn't get the black bits out of it and rang me in a panic, he feared the next two years of nagging . For future reference a half a coffee cup of oxyalic acid will get rid of grease as well as petrol smells very quickly .

I think boiling them in clean water is more effective...gets into all the nooks and crannies.

 

[CenTex Farmall]

Tie-dye! (sort of)

 

[used red MN]

I thought maybe they only had two a his and hers. Just so happens he used hers. If he is telling the truth I?m not sure the punishment fits the crime, unless his ploy was the same as pointed out by griz02.

Boy oh Boy is she going to be mad when she finds out you bought a 60" flat screen and it is not in the house!!
