How embarrassing!

How embarrassing!, originally uploaded by jbar2008.

This is one of my dogs. His name is Newton and this is a picture of him in some type of baby play device. One of my sisters in law was playing with him and this is what she did. It is emasculating enough to have two small white dogs but when someone does this to them it is another low blow to my masculinity. Well I guess that I should look on the bright side. It could be worse. I could have been the one in the jeep.

Electricity, originally uploaded by jbar2008.

So I have been a home owner for over a year now. During that time I have learned to do some home repairs, however, electrical work is not my strength. In fact tonight my wife and I were having a conversation about home repair. It became evident that my wife doubts my man abilities as far as home repair is concerned. I then took it upon myself to show my wife that she was wrong in judging me, and I made an attempt to impress her by doing some electrical work. This is a picture of the switch that I changed out. I almost shocked myself because I didnt shut off the breaker so there was juice in the wires. I accidently touched the wires together and sparks flew! My wife laughed at me. I solidified in her mind that I lack man abilities involving home repair. I guess at least she won’t ask me to do much around the house.
