TRAVIS...... This is for you!
Tom decided to switch out the winch on his 4-wheeler yesterday... I had other things I wanted to do outside which included a walk with the girls....
It wasn't long and Tom hollers "MOM!!!" ..... I am not liking the sound of his voice..... I detected anxiety. I knew what he was trying to do and so I was trying to be invisible.... It didn't work.
I went over to see what he wanted... "I just want you to watch as I take this apart so you can tell me how to put it back together......." OKAY! I really don't want to do this...... I don't even know "what" he is doing...
All I know is he has some parts that are his and some parts are Ryan's.... which at one time equaled one working winch... on Tom's 4 wheeler.
Now Tom's part of that winch is broke but Ryan's part still works so what I think he wants to do is put all of Ryan's parts back together and than switch out the mounts as we have to use Tom's as Ryan's won't work....
Confused? Me too!!!!
So Tom brought the winch into the house. We started in the laundry room on the bench. Parts were coming off... I am clue-less... I ask questions and he answers with a frustrated voice... (Like I should just KNOW what's going on) He tells me what the goal is... It didn't seem too hard....
LATER...... We ended up on the kitchen table with our project.... I now know every part inside a winch and how they go back together.... EVERYTHING Tom touched fell apart till every little piece was apart. There are springs, and gears and washers of many sizes that fit into other do-hinkies that had to line up with that which-a-ma-call-it and than got mounted to that thing but it had to be lined up just so to slip into place when holding this thing so it didn't slip apart again and than get the holes to line up so the bolts will pass through all the pieces to hold everything together.....
Did I mention the gear grease.... all over Tom, Me and the KITCHEN TABLE and anything else in the vicinity?
It took ALL day but in the end we got it all back together and back on the 4 wheeler and in working order..... NOW
Only one problem left to fix.... It unwinds but doesn't wind up.... He has been messing with it for about a month..... THAN he had a light bulb moment...... There is this thing that plugs in by the ignition... It came loose one day.. He shoved it on in a hurry... He pulled it off to examine it and one of the prongs was bent over. WALA...... Now it works......
He walked around calling himself an idiot for about an hour... IF it didn't make himself feel better... It did me... J/K ; D
He thinks I can fix anything and knows everything and at times almost demands it of me.... He depends on me to be his brain and mine and I don't have enough for myself some days let alone share... "sigh"
❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥Someone Asked Why?❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥
Super women took a nose dive into the ground. She hit with such force she was buried for weeks. A heavy equipment operator was called in by God. He dug till he found her. She was still breathing but emotionally frail.
He took one look at her and he felt something he has never felt before. So when God said take care of her and love her......he did. He tried to walk away but couldn't....God filled him with an abundance of all the qualities he already possessed and said use these now to help her grow to her full potential as one day you will need what she has to give......
So he put her on a pedestal and kept her dusted and polished for years. Everyday he would polish and shine her and gave her everything he had inside as God instructed.
As the years slowly passed........and she shined like the brightest star in the sky......(He did an awesome job).....but now he was slowly losing himself.
She asked God with tears in her eyes " where is he going?" God said "he is going back to where he first came. It's a long hard journey and he needs you to help him get there safely."
I will give you an abundance of all you need to help him on his journey back to me, for that is where he came from.
So to those who ask why? Because I believe in fairy tales...He is my knight in shining armor...... He literally guarded me with his life.....
