Our farm truck. It's an old beater. Which my husband still drives around. Even though the inspection expired over a year and a half ago.
No excuses Paul! This is a plea from your wife to go get the truck inspected this week. Sheesh!
P.S - while I'm already nagging, your car needs an oil change too....

Oh, my, I'm the one who procrastinates in this house! I drive my husband crazy sometimes with this! :-(
ReplyDeleteMy husband is the king of procrastination. He has it mastered.... One of his favorite saying is "You could have married the man who invented the tire, but instead you married the man who invented the excuse." He always has an excuse for why things never get done :)
ReplyDeleteYes, Phil is the SAME way!!! Thing is, sometimes his procrastination works out to his advantage, just enough to keep him doing it. I guess you could say that I nag a bit when he has things he need to do. But it's for his own good!
ReplyDeleteLOL! I'm staying out of it and refraining from commenting. But I am laughing!
ReplyDeleteThats just in out DNA to put things off!
ReplyDeleteI'll tell you tomorrow Lisa.
ReplyDeletelol...it's me...i'm the guilty procrastinator and my husband drives me crazy because he's so on the ball....i guess it is true about opposites attract :)
ReplyDeleteI would like the cradle taken down. We have taken down the crib but, the cradle is still up and I can't loosen the bolts in it.
ReplyDeleteLisa, I'm gonna have to plead the 5th, otherwise I may be divorced if I tell all (all about my world class procrastinating husband)... suffice it to say I'm lucky I'm still in my right mind after 28 years! But then I'm sure I have things that drive him nuts too, but we won't go there either.. tee.he.he! Hope your hubby gets to current tags before a ticket! Thanks too Lisa, for co-hosting 'Rural Thursday Blog Hop,' I look forward to it each week!
ReplyDeleteThe Hubby-drive-me-crazy thing here is the jumping from project to project with out finishing any of them! My man is classic ADHD I think!
ReplyDeleteYou poor girl! My daughter is the same way. It's always "I will, later!" UGH!
ReplyDeleteI'm the big procrastinator in our house. I'm always saying "tomorrow would be a good day to do that." :)
ReplyDeleteOh my! I'm the procrastinator in the family, although, given a deadline, I usually complete the task by then...for example: I needed my car inspected in the month of January and I waited until the last week to take my car in :-) It probably drives your brother crazy :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm holding out that you might someday agree with me that we need to put farm tags on it and get a truck that will actually pull the horse trailer. Then we can get livestock too and I can continue to use it for hay.
ReplyDeleteBut if you want to abandon your running routine this weekend I'll weld the muffler back on, replace the taillight, glue back on the rear view mirror, fix the breaks and take it down the road for an inspection.
I could sell it and get $500 for it but it's basically become a really great wheelbarrow for the farm.
Not procrastinating. Everything has a purpose.
oh dear! loaded question, that one!
ReplyDeleteI so love my ex-brother-in-law and nephew, but they do have their own view of time~it doesn't exist to them. Since they are hired to do a lot of the farm work for me, it drives me absolutely crazy. Hope your hubby gets the hint. :-)
ReplyDeleteI used to not be, but now in my older age, I am a procrastinator. But, reading this I'm gonna jump in the shower and head to the drivers license bureau. :)
ReplyDeleteYou described my Hubs so well...I nag and nag but it is no good, He does not change
ReplyDeleteA few years ago a young friend noticed that the tax disc on my husband's car was 6 months out of date. He hadn't noticed, is that the same as procrastinating?! He did deal with it a.s.a.p!!
ReplyDeleteMen!! They can drive you to drink. My Hubs does not pick up after himself. Makes me so mad!!
ReplyDeleteMy husband let our registration expire just once...I was the one that got pulled over and reprimanded. I was in tears...I think it cured him! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you, Lisa! I'd have to start a whole new blog, but I think that procrastination tends to happen when there's so many things that need to be done and it's easy to put the blinders on. Even on a small piece of land we have so many unfinished projects :)
ReplyDeleteMEN! God help em, help us all! LoL! =)
ReplyDeletePutting off today what one can also put off tomorrow travels around my family a lot.
ReplyDeleteMy hubby doesn't procrastinate but he has been saying for weeks that he is going to stop going to town EVERY day...where do you suppose he is now?!? ;-)
ReplyDeleteI'm the procrastinator in our house!!! My Man's on top of everything! I try to be more like him ;~)
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately for my husband I am the procrastinator. I'm sure he'd have a few things to say about me. :)
ReplyDeleteLisa
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh! I just followed my husband down our backroads to the garage to get some work done on his old 'plow' truck. He won't license it because he only uses it to move snow.
Be careful what you ask for! It might cost a fortune to bring his oldie up to inspect standards!!
Are ya kiddin'. I usually just do most projects myself...it's just the way I fly!!! :o)
ReplyDeleteI can see your point about wanting the truck inspected. I'd nag your husband for you but I'm too busy trying to get mine to finish the tiles in the bathroom. :)) (Yeah, well, I have some unfinished projects he's nagging me about too.)
ReplyDeleteLiving on a farm I can say that there is always something to procrastinate about. We have a farm truck just like yours :)
ReplyDeleteI'm procrastinating, not learning how to do a blog hop!
ReplyDeleteI am just taken by your truck. I want one just like it for the farm
ReplyDelete: )
Hub is a procrastinator, or so I say. I am impatient, or so he says.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cute post!! Maybe this will get him motivated to get it done!!
ReplyDeleteYou are preachin to the choir! Last year we had a couple water spots on the ceiling in a few rooms. I had a couple contractors come out & got some quotes. My hubs went into the attic & sprayed some foam . He thinks that is the fix. I noticed a new spot last week & it didn't even phase him. I'm like SERIOUSLY what is it going to take. He actually said to me... drops coming from the ceiling. Ummmm REALLY???
ReplyDeletePart of his being so unreasonable is that our roof is only 7 years old. That is what we get for having a friend do it for us, even if he was a contractor. Grrrr.
I married the same type of guy. He's got tax stuff ALL OVER OUR BEDROOM and it's making me crazay.
ReplyDeleteWe have had a squirrel in our attic for a year - need I say more? sandie
ReplyDeleteLol...my husband can relate to this. I used to be on top of things, but after I discovered photography there are a lot of things I put off until the last minute.
ReplyDeleteThis made me laugh. Our Christmas lights and wreath are still up ... this is the husband's domain.
ReplyDeleteIf you find a motivator, let me know.
I am the biggest procrastinator going. Take for tonight, I am supposed to be working on my sons birthday party, and instead I am blog hoping:) Lol- my husband would do the same!
ReplyDeleteHoly wow! A ton of participants! How cool. :) Congrats on such a successful meme!
ReplyDeleteAnd how funny. Did he bring it in yet? I feel like you might be jinxing him and he's going to wind up with a ticket now ...
