"The Water is Low"

[#41]

Yesterday's actual spousal discussion:

Her: "When I started the car this morning the gauge said the water is low. Can you take a look at it?".

Me: "And you drove into town with low water anyway?"

Her: "Well. it was fine by the time I got back".

After 7 years of driving this car, she now knows what the water temperature gauge is for.

That's priceless. Have you explained the 710 cap under the hood?

Some things are best left unknown!

I'm not complaining. I find the humor in it. On the flip side, there are things that she understands that I cannot fathom and have no interest in ever understanding.

I get these type of situations regularly.
Technical terms like "thingee", making weird noises, drove kind of funny etc...
If I'm lucky I can narrow it down to the front or back and usually just have to test drive it and check everything.

Yes, I'd rather know about anything 'suspicious' however funny it may turn out to be.

My wife said that she hates the new tires that I bought for her car. I asked why and she said because the low tire pressure warning light came on, so the tires (Continentals) must be **** because they don’t hold air. This was on the first sub-freezing day of autumn. So I check and yes, three of 4 tires are 28 PSI, but one is 22. They should all be 34 PSI. I spray soapy water on the low tire and find an electrical staple in the tread. I used the new screw-in plug (which worked great BTW!) and that fixed it. I tried to explain Boyle’s Law to her (PV=NRT) about low temperatures and she didn’t want to hear that. The tires were **** (of course).

I'm very fortunte in that regard . Bobbie can look at head and can tell you if it's a hemi,2 valve ,4 valve aluminum or cast iron. I can open the hood of almost any car or truck at a car show .
Bobbie can tell you if it's front wheel drive or 4 wheel drive rear wheel drive .Inline 4 or 6 cylinder . V8 engine size she still struggles with a little bit . She can tell you whether ,it's a blower, supercharger or turbo .
I credit her father for teaching her to know most of this . He taught her how to look after herself .
I strive to be up to his standards . He truly was a great guy .

Some very humorous comments from the married guys! Just remember, as you already know, you have to take the good with the bad, and bad with the good!
