: No, it wouldn`t do...there is nothing like sharing a paddling

: mistress recently...I did understand just how much time I was
: spending in the garage but didn`t think she`d mind so much since
: I WAS home where I could easily be found in case of emergency.
: That said, the ...you will just love this little kayak`line did
: not work so well. The concept of time births the concept of time
: management and this concept births the idea that we must pay
: attention to when our significant other is needy...yah, it means
: being sensitive to her needs...do that and not only will we get
: more garage time but she will really think we are someone
: special who stands out in the crowd more than others. I hope to
: master these concepts some day...in the meantime I will just
: have to be really stubborn during those times when I really need
: a fix in the garage.

Hi fellow strugglers for justifying more shed time.My boat building has been done mainly when My wife and daughter watch something called American Idol.X factor or top model.I measure how long it takes to build a boat not in feet like ET but in how many seasons of American Idol did I need.
I call it my idol time and long may they produce the thing for me.
cheers,
