Well, Robert
My husband spent hours yesterday watching innumerable videos of a man setting up for and making aluminium casting on the floor of his garage.
He was perfectly happy.
You, I presume, have some intention to fertilise your lawn?
My husband had been making intricate patterns to be cast for a vintage engine being repaired at the Restoration Club where he applies his talents each Thursday.

Wives don’t understand? Maybe they just like teasing their other half!!! 😆

He sounds like a fine man!! I bet he likes craft beer too!?!?
 
He’s an absolute genius on the metal lathe too, and working out dimensions for missing parts of various metals, sometimes just from old photos on the internet…for big ancient engines up to 100 years old. The latest was in shocking state, but donated to the club by on elderly man who hoped it, an old Crossley, would be restored. The restoration requires a lot of recreation, his forte.

I’m the sounding board, and though secretly have zero passion for engines, he puts on so much effort. I praise and encourage him, so necessarily know a lots about such things. He probably knows deep down that I don’t have his passion, but he also knows i’m His greatest fan, with the other handful of guys who seek his natural expertise not far behind. He’s not a trained mechanic, but it’s his necessary hobby.

And yes, Robert, he is one of the good guys!

Well not tonight, but other times my choice of actions don’t have the same priority as hers. Have you been spying on us?

“Are you on CAF again?!?!!”

I hesitate to ask, whats your preferred lawn seed and do you hand, push or ride on mow
 
Creeping red fescue.

The city replaced the curbs on the street. There is an 18” strip all along the way that needs repair.

This is the problem right here. You cant tell your wife your watching a guy put down fertilizer, you need to “spice” it up a bit by saying something like “I’m learning how to properly fertilize the lawn so i don’t end up wasting money on unnecessary products or by improperly applying it.”
 
What’s wrong with a man who loves his lawn.
It’s where his children play and picnic it’s the first thing a wife’s friends see before they get to the door. A woman can be house proud like a man can be lawn proud.
My husband used to have a lawn care business I hated it when he was so busy with everyone else’s lawn that our lawn missed out. Now I love it when my lawn is literally the best lawn in the street
 
Not all men are that way Robert. For instance I’m indulging the fantasy right now of all the cool designs I could put into your lawn with a gallon of roundup…
 
I have a fire suppression system installed to thwart the neighborhood arsonists.
 
Of course you do. Any suburban home owner does. Oh well, time to reprogram my Christmas laser light show and point it at your house…
 
I thought of that too. That’s why I encircled my yard with massive mirrors 😎
 
Fine. You win. I guess I have no choice but to put pink flamingo’s all over my own lawn…
 
Unfortunately your laser fire bounced off my mirrors and melted your flock 😟
 
Melted burned pink plastic blobs in my yard actually gets the job done… thanks. Now, you can look at it every day… LOOOOOOOK ATTTTTTTT ITTTTTT!
 
Hoosier and Cruciferi, you guys rock. . .

Oh I suppose now that will give you ideas!
 
I understand.

I just spent the afternoon binge watching a documentary series about sports betting. I hate sports AND I find gambling to be boring, but, the documentary was FASCINATING.
