Why is it that when a man informs his spouse that "Yes, I went to the doctors office, but no, I did not get to see him as the place was full" the following question will be asked several hours later "Did you see the doctor today?"
Is it just me or does this happen to any of you, too? I know the reverse cannot be true because if you, a male, neglects to hang on her every word then you might as well move in with the dog because that's who your going to be snuggling with for the foreseeable future.
I swear that I am going to start recording all conversations between me and my family. Its not that no one is listening. I know they are. It's just that nothing sticks inside. Information just filters through and oozes onto the floor where it lays until someone slips on the goo. Maybe, if I write the shit down on a post-it note and stick it to their forehead they'll remember what I have said.
We did a bit of a tidy after supper. My better half tackled the garage while I assaulted the truck. We both had stuff to clean and put away after our respective escapades. There was one task I had to do when I came home from BEING OUT IN THE WEEDS and that was get into the home safe. It seems that LOIN FRUIT #1 is applying to go to ITALY next year on a school exchange and he needed his passport information.
Maybe he'll have a chance to visit Poggi (pronounced poe-gee).
Now, I know the combination and I have been into the safe many times before but this nut just would not crack. Three times past zero to the right-stop at the number. All the way to the left past the number once and then stop at it. Turn to the right and stop on the third number. Turn the handle and 'VIOLA' it opens.
Not this time.
Well, where there's a will there's a way. And with the help of a one pound ball peen, a wrecking bar and a crow bar the door was successfully pried from the strong box with only a minor gouge to my leg. A new double lock safe with key pad and tumbler key set is next on my purchase list.
