More Stolen Stuff...
 
I stole my wife's chopping board and made a gauge console out of that a a few years ago and frankly, she was pissed (boat smelled like garlic for a long time, too). I swore I wouldn't steal anymore of her stuff after that episode but, after looking for one of those wooden or black center pieces to replace the missing one on my SeaStar hydraullic steering wheel and realizing they don't sell those without buying the entire wheel replacement, I decided the top to that weird smelling candle she keeps in the bathroom looked like it would fit right in the wheel. It took a little sanding and went right in like it was made for it! I put the set screw in and it worked like a champ. That $8.00 candle saved me a bunch of money and effort, although she's pissed again and I can't figure out why? The candle's still good...it just doesn't have a wooden top on it. Is she being overly sensitive? Point is, if you're missing one of those center inserts to your wheel and you can't find one and have gotten tired of looking at that nut in there, go to the store (don't steal the one in the house) and find a candle with a wooden top. They come in all different sizes and you'll find one that fits just about any wheel.

Warren at least you told her what happened. I might have blamed it on the dog. "Honey, that dog just loves to chew stuff, especially cutting boards and candle lids. Just like that pair of panties the dog drug out of the woods and put in the back seat of my truck - remember that honey? . . . . . honey? Hello?"

:haha:

I think my sister-in-law told her the thong in the glove box can't be used to pull start a 150 V-Max. I think her husband told her something about how hard those things are to pull start when the battery dies and no amount of lingerie from Frederick's is gonna hold up to that kind of abuse! Does anyone know if you can pull start one with something from the "Hanes Her Way" collection?

Warren Warren Warren.....bra-straps are for starting....thongs are for "mojo catching power" and we got pix of Stinky to back it up!! :sun:
