Kev is fixing the AC in my car. He believes the problem is a circuit thingy located in a box doohickey that’s burnt out. Or something. I wasn’t really paying attention. What I did pay attention to were the phrases “$400 fix at shop” and “$20 part to do it myself”. OK, sold.
The $20 part came today, and Kev sat and examined the doohickey that the part must be attached to.
Kev: Hmmmm…I think I’m going to have to get some new tools…
Me: WHAT??? You said when you bought that $99 set over at Costco that you’d never have to buy tools again!
Kev: that’s for working on the CARS, this is ELECTRONIC, I need SPECIAL TOOLS. Besides, I never said I’d never need to buy tools again. YOU said that.
Me: Did not! What kind of tool do you need, anyway?
Kev: A solder sucker
Me: a WHAT?
Kev: *long explanation as to what a solder sucker is*
Me: Huh. A solder sucker…
Kev: Yep. It’s my new nickname for you, baby.
Me: godammit.
Back in the long-ago days when I actually had to solder stuff, I had better luck with solder wick. But I was never a very prolific solderer, thank Og.
But to each his own!
Awwwww, I loved the pics of you and Sadie and you were one rockin’ fairy girlfriend!
I will cross my fingers that you get the job!!!!!
This is vaguely reminiscent *coughcough*exactly*cough of some of the conversations I have with the Hubby about computer parts, gaming stations, WoW accounts…..
I was just waiting for that one. haha.
AC in cars suck… once they go that’s it… hope he can fix yours though!
Yeah, I get that a lot too. I hate it when we are at Home Depot and Mr. Man goes to check out the sale table. He can find a reason that he needs anything on that table! Last week it was some kind of fancy reciprocal saw or something. Seriously – the man has a tool for EVERYTHING.
Hee hee hee… solder sucker. Impressive. Just wanted to say I love the magic bitch dust picture on Ravelry. Gotta get me some of that dust. I’d be sprinklin’ it ever-where. Crossing my fingers on the job!
At least you’re not a soldIer sucker?
