Toaster ovens always seemed kinda redundant to me. I already have an oven, and I have better uses for the counter space than a mini oven.

Cooling on hot days makes it worth it by itself. Heating up to 450 in 5 minutes instead of 25 is another win. A good convection / air fry setting is a plus. And drawing 1.2kw instead of 4kw is the icing.Quote:

Reheats food with a warm option but it’s slower than a microwave. I find myself using it a lot. She will only use it to toast bread. Won’t go near it for anything else.Quote:

The other weekend I drove 10 hours to a family event and then 10 hours home 48 hours later while she napped and looked at her phone the whole time.Quote:

fact.
FTR, my wife's never done this but it still made me lol since she's been on a major purging bender lately (still annoyed about her tossing all my martini glasses)...

Buy more. Then you won’t be mad.
Several pint glasses have bit the dust lately by my wife. So I’m getting some new ones. I only buy pint glasses from places I visit so I’m excited now to travel a bit more. :biggrin:
My wife is a kleptomaniac, but only for glassware. Very specific. I haven’t paid for a pint glass in 30 years (except the Silipint unbreakable ones). If she likes the beer/bar on the glass, it comes home with her.Quote:

I have 100sf of lawn. Literally 10x10 for the dog.
I cut it with a manual push mower. Buzz the perimeter with my Makita string trimmer. Less than 3min job. Lawncare nirvana.
Wife tells me she wants an edger - wants to clean up the border.
Next time I’m at Home Depot I buy an edger - a manual / shovel type.
She gave this edger approximately 4 seconds of effort and made a decision that she wants an electric one.
….For our 40LF of lawn edge….
She asks what brand power tools I have - Makita.
Today I come home not to a new Makita 18v edger - but a Rigid string trimmer.

Uggh. Nice listening skills. Not to mention all the pro landscapers edge beds with the old school half moon spade.
Power edgers were the shit for sidewalks back before string trimmers were invented. Today they are a waste.
In your wife's defense that's presta valve on your tri bike.Quote:

If you’d like, I could say something to her next time you’re at Bachy…:wink:Quote:

And she’s bent probably 10x the sheet metal per mile driven than I.
Ms TBS had your basic Humboldt County Hippy Chick Beetle when we met. Complete with crystal hanging from RV mirror.Quote:

So I decided to change it. Got the engine hot and opened the plug.
Bloop…bloop…bloop went the old oil.
So I bought five gallons of cheap oil, went thru cycles of filling it up, running a while and draining, then fill with clean oil.
After about five cycles the oil drained out clean.
Wouldn’t hold decent compression after that though.
Yeah, automobiles are not her strong suit.
This is what I'm thinking for my kids. We have a family tradition in my family where children build their first cars. And I'm not overly excited about teaching my kids how to build a V8 when I could have them install a Mustang Mach-E in something fun... like 2-door Wrangler. I'm still researching options... wanna keep the project under 10K. First kid gets her license in 3 years. Kind of perfect time to begin this or next year.Quote:

Aren't you in Japan? How do they handle inspections and all that rigamarole for a home project like that?Quote:
