She is a great girl, just doesn't understand how the whole realm of things works. If I don't get the boat done this weekend, then I have to take a couple days off of work to get it done, then I have no vacation time left, then we can't go to Hawaii, etc. A bit over dramatic and slight exageration, but she got the idea. It just always ends up taking longer than I expect.

I like the "You are perfect, but the boat is not as perfect as you and needs some maintenance" line, I'm definately gonna use that one.

Re: "I Feel Like I'm Second Best To Your Boat"
Everytime the discussion turns to $$$, I can guarantee I am going to hear about the boat.
Funny thing about all these posts, seems like second time around, you don't go about it the same way you did on the first trip.
And as wise old friend told me when I was younger and complaining about a woman, "Buddy, all I can tell you is when the f'ing your getting aint worth the f'ing your taking, it's time to move on.

Re: "I Feel Like I'm Second Best To Your Boat"
My wife has always been supportive of boating. When we were dating, she surprised me at the shop one day. She showed up with her "grubby clothes" and helped me block-sand the boat project of the time.
She still gets involved in our projects and we just celebrated our 25th anniversary!
But I have to admit: she is still number 1 in my life.
