Wifey and I are having the same sort of discussion. After 30 years in the house we finally got this big honkin set of gas logs for the FP in the back room,which could just as well be the grill.

Do you,"turn on the logs/grill" .....or......"light the fire"?

It doesn't go away, it just converts into the smell of singed eyebrows.

Gas fireplace? So no more cutting ten cords of walnut a year down in the creek?

Love that Ian! Up until 1984 here in the PNW you could cut 10 cords of dead wood from the National Forests for $5. Then in 1986 it became $5 a cords and a limit of 5 cords. Then when they discovered the "Spotted Owl"; it was nothing to cut.

Love my natural gas fireplace. Heat 500 square feet of house for less than $50 a month! The other 500 that is electric is $100!

"Lite the fire woman"........ but you gotta get the inflection just right to get the look.

Had to hang solid core 3' x 7' doors in a big honking condo one time.We were happy,$$,yeehaw.The place was getting ready to final (occupancy inspect)..... and they're having problems with the gas heating system,each floor had a cpl.We're just flys on the wall.

Apparently, they were having issues with the,gas sensor..... the one that is the "sniffer".If it smells gas(or pilot light goes out),shuts system down. Early days of this valve? or whatever.Anyway,the only way they could get the system to work at the 11th hour so to speak,was disable it.Took inspector 2 minutes to find it.....doh.Sounded about like a big stump falling off a truck tailgate when their(HVAC crew) head hit the floor.Thuuuuuummmpp.

OK,speaking of women....and this is open for debate on what is and what ain't,proper considering marriage?

Me;"honey,wonder what big truck's cost"?

Her;"uhhh,more than you got,or are willing to spend,haha"

Me;"I'm just wondering cause,really don't want to buy a big arse truck,thinking more like..... truck's for hire"?

Her;"lost me but,whatever"

Me;"Our new,New Holland 655 backhoe is like,300 miles from here,just wondering"

Her;"Are you going to the grocery store today"?

Dang,so what's the message here?Do women pay a lick of attention?I'm saying,positively NO.

Not in her job description on how to get your new backhoe home. Do you want to discuss matte or gloss fingernail toppings?

Vegan vegetables! Saw it on TV. Women must pass at least 1 semester Auto mechanics and thermodynamics before marriage.
I'd forgotten about that 'golden screw' cartoon, a good one. The original Dilbert, and the old radio programs. Wow. Humor and imagination without a computer.
