Oven...to dry a wheel I had just sanded down and washed, preparing it for
paint. I was feeling a little impatient with the drying process and thought
I'd just pop it in the oven on 150 deg. Went back out to the garage to start
on the next wheel. Spouse came home a few minutes later (lovely woman, but
like certain mountain lions of recent discussion, basically 80 pounds of
muscle, claws and fury if you mess with her kitchen...yes, I try to do these
things while she's elsewhere). Polite inquiry ensued concerning the source of
the smoke pouring from the stove.

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
