What did the two of you say when you got out of the car?
Huh?
I knocked on the door. He said "come in". I asked if he was busy and said I'd just had to get out of the apartment for a while and thought I'd come by and see what he was up to. He said he was taking a break from working on the back porch.
Shortly thereafter I discovered he has an ant problem and we started working together to remedy that.
and I am a licensed exterminator, i'd be happy to help. Kinda far though. True.

By the time we were through, we were chatting about the kids and about S14's car they have begun to work on.
Way to funny, also a auto machinest/mechanic building race cars and engines. 25 plus yrs. What kind of car? My husband has even more years under HIS belt. It's a Camry. So H is already cussing about there not being enough room to work on the engine but I knew that was coming because he's always maintained my cars, which were small, too.

Then he knows better! They always wreck their first ones though. My buddies S17 just parked his HotRod in a ditch last weekend. Now the car sits. I worked on it and built the engine and helped get it going and his parents put WAY to much into it. The boy has no accountability.
Yours won't be that way though!

Yours won't be that way though! Actually, no, he won't because he's having to work to pay for all the repairs. H and I will help some but we don't have any extra cash even between the two of us. H had S14 go online to the auto parts store and price everything. It's their project and I'm not getting in the middle of it but H is keeping it real for him and for that, I am glad. The kid isn't going to go tear up something he had to pay to get on the road.
Hey Amy! Made it back last night. In my Camry (1998), by the way. I think a Camry is a good choice for keeping him out of trouble, a bit. (The first car I drove a lot was a 1968 Rambler American. Very, very, unsexy! And kind of a tortoise. Then again, I never wrecked it!
I think your afternoon was about exactly right. I think those are the kind of steps that keep things moving in the right direction. I expect it will be painfully slow, and it will be ever so tempting to push things. But like you've been telling Jazz.....don't you dare!
Is you husband going to be able to work soon? It sounds like he is getting more active at home, so that's good!
Hey OJ. Yeah he's a little more productive these days. A little. He has another checkup next week and will either go back to work or be out for another 2 weeks.
