Gawd, I love my wife, BUT!....

I love my wife dearly, and she works hard, but that girl can break s# faster than any other human being I know!!
She's just got no "nuance", it's full throttle, jamb the gear, ram the hydraulic lever, go fast on the ATV with a trailer...and she just breaks S#!, and all the time! It's never ending!
And then she comes inside or where ever and says she's broke down somewhere. It's endless! She tore up the Z-turn, she tore up the tractor, she "almost' tore up the skid (until I yelled at the girl over that one). She thinks diesel engines go from 0% to 150% when cold. She doesn't check tires. My gawd, I love this girl, but holy jeezus, she can break a frisbee! (and NOBODY can break a frisbee!!). "Slow, just a little", means mash the gas and dump the hydraulics. She cuts the grass in 1st Low range, and when I ask her if she want's to load a tractor on the trailer she does it in 4th High range! GO SLOW, GIRL...JEEZUS!!! She gets a flat on something and she drags it a half mile, so even if it has a tube, the filler is long gone. It's just endless!
She gets frustrated at me because I always check everything, I always make sure I have the tools I might need, and she just gets stompin' mad...she wants to GO!
She'll come in the barn holding parts dripping oil and say "What do these do???", and it will be parts from the drive train of something. F#!
Last week she says the tractor "just stopped". Jeezus, what now??? Did it have fuel? "I don't know, I thought so." So now it's on a hill, leaning into a ditch and it's completely out of fuel...oh boy, that was "fun" getting going again! Tonight, it's a flat on a trailer. Dragged it about 700 feet, so now the valve stem is inside the wheel and hopelessly lost. Can't inflate it, even with the wheel off. "Okay, I'm gonna' go to the store because I can't deal with you being pissed off all the time!!", says her.
Jeezus, I should just follow her around with a Snap-on truck!! You just can't bring enough tools to keep up with this girl!!

And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain

Don't get me started about the car! She recently told me the car was "shuddering" when she hit the brakes. I seldom drive it, so I wasn't aware of that. After a $550 brake job, it now "Stops a lot easier"! I wrote that check out of her account!
