I borrowed my wife's dish washer to clean up some Stromberg
carburetors. Carbs came out sparkeling clean but the drinking water at the
dining room table tasted funny
for a while. She found out, got mad and cut me off from sex for two weeks
then got even madder when I didn't notice.

Subject: borrowed "tools"
A previous email from VanVlack about using cleaning fluids in the wife's
wash tub got me thinking about how long-suffering my sweetie is. Over the
past couple of years, I have 'borrowed" from her --
deep freeze to cool lifter sleeves and tupperware of ice cubes during
installation
kitchen stove to heat hubs for bearing press-in
turkey baster to fill graduated cylinder for cc-ing heads
kitchen thermometer for checking various things
favorite pan for heating water with a temp gauge bulb in it
Of course I clean things scrupulously but I must sheepishly admit that I
try to do these things when she's not at home
