OK. Not all weekend long doing chores. But I have my time because she doesn't know any better...:out:

I work 4 ten hour shifts at US Fish & Wildlife (Mon - Thur ~ Today's my Friday!) and I cover military funeral services Fri/Sat/Sun as needed.
...I'm a reservist now.

She doesn't know I only work 4 x 10's! As far as she knows, I work a normal 5 day work week. The downside is that I have to get up and go away every Friday as if I were going to work.
But I go work out in the federal gym for a few hours and then, if I have a funeral tasking, I'll go do that. Otherwise, I'll go hide out at my dad's or friend's house and work on my (used to be '69 K5 / but now) xj.

Same on Sat/Sun... but I don't have to get up early. If I have a funeral tasking, I knock out a few miles of running, shower and head out.
Or, I'll tell her I have a service (and load my uniform in the truck) and head to ~~

SSShhhhhh! Don't rat me out :rolleye0012:

22 years (15 since active duty) and she still hasn't caught on.
I think too late passed a long time ago.

Belive me, She knows. She probbly enjoys her quite time on friday (maybe some shopping too). Women have a sixth sense about these things.
P.S If you need a place to hide out, Your welcome to come over here. How are you on ladders?

Great on ladders. Don't even need a safety net ~ much :pray:
...you would think she does. But as much of a honey-do list'er as she is, there's no way she'd let me get more than an hour or two over the next three days to knock out some projects I want to do.
So I'm headed to the fed gym... then I'm going to do a chassis club ~ & start on the fuse box.
Hopefully I'll get it done tomorrow.
I have to take a vacation day next week to swap the hubs before my drill road trip on Friday

:watermelon:
