My wife's been complaining about all the tractors and parts in the garage, so I showed her this Ebay auction (2977798268) and told her that she could have ended up with him instead of me. It worked.

I once heard Paul Harvey talk about a study that someone did where they interviewed a couple hundred wives to see how their men could better get along with them. The study concluded that men would get along with their wives much better if they would just learn to say two words.
Two Words?
They were:
Yes Dear

Stop wife from complaining? Can't be done - why'd you ask? Just love her and put up with it! (After all, she's putting up with you!)

Just have to put my two cents in here. I grew up in the forties and fifties, where the man was the head of the household and the BOSS. As it appeared
in our house, except as I look back I knew who the boss of our house was, My Mother, BUT she was wise enough and Smart enough to let my Dad think he was the boss. I have learned many good lessons from my mother,cherish each and everyone of them.
One thing I tell thhe younger young ladies "Is that it take an extremely smart and intelligent woman to let the man think he is the boss, even if he is not".

Built mine a new home and thought I was off scott free. WRONG!! Now she wants sprinkler system etc. Told her we gotta reach a happy medium. House is her's to decorate etc. I will do outside chores. Working ok so far.

Best thing is some give and take. We are both HEADSTRONG fools at times but we are smart enought to yield. She's a great gal just sometimes we BUMP heads. Her biggest beef with my old iron is the time it takes - but as I said, it keeps me off the streets and outta the bars. You always know where to find me, in the shop or in the fields.

You have too long a chain on the stove! :o)
One thing I have learned over the past 7 or 8 years, and yes I was married for part of that time, is that women are trying to take on roles that they were never intended on taking. Not meaning any disrespect towards them at all, just that they were not meant to do some of the things they are doing. My ex should have had the crap knocked out of her and if I were not a gentleman I probably would have. I was very good too her, only had one or two arguments that I can recall but she acted more like she had 2 or 3 things swinging between her legs that she didn't have. I thank my lucky stars daily that I'm no longer around the _itch. I do want to make sure everyone knows I have the utmost respect for women, I just believe that most are trying to be too much of the man of the house when thats not their place. I believe in the way the good Lord set things up to be.
Granted there are too many men these days that are not acting like men either, so the axe swings both ways on this subject.

My wife (second one)lets me have all the tools, tractors and guns I can drag home (first wife wouldn't let me have a pair of pliers). She has a interest in shooting and farming which helps. She also works and we share the cooking and house work. Fair deal for me. I do for her when she needs it and I do as I please the rest of the time, but IF I ever said the chain on the stove thing, I would hate to think. I'm very lucky, she loves me and my shed is full of toys. After my first marriage, I am very glad to be here with her. Pretty easy on the eyes too!

My wife was not complaining exactly, however, she thought I should get a loader tractor instead of always buying old cockshutts so I agreed to a MF30 Industrial. Sure helps the ole back and works fine for loading and unloading all the old iron that creeps onto the place. She does put up with a lot of unsightly rust here and there, but she does know where I'm at most of the time and what I'm supposed to be doing. Don't ya just wonder sometimes.

Told my wife that least she knows I'm in the garage tinkering on tractors instead of boozing in the bars trying to pickup women. Haven't heard much gripping since. Gave up a nice tractor however to purchase an eternity ring and three pieces of matching living room furniture.

I was lookin at a '56 Massey 35 Greenbelly for $2,000, instead got 2,000 worth of livingroom furniture and I got 2 Allis B's for $200. I'm having a lot of fun fixin 'em up though. Kinda fun havin different colors too. Think I'll get an Olie or a Farmall next.

Oh, we been married 17 years and never had new furniture before. We live in the kitchen mostly.

I hear ya Guy. I've had a Farmall "M" in my pocket about 3 times in the last year only to spend it on something for the little woman. She too knows where to find me. I'm either here scanning YT or in the shed working on some old iron.

I suspect the ring and the furniture worked a whole lot better than the comment about where you would be if not in the tractor/old iron business.IMHO.
