Pressure to get car done

I've suggested that wifey change her name to "Karen", at least where my classic cars abu8 concerned. She was nice when young, but then started watching "The View" and other women-fussing daytime shows and became empowered. The one thing I asked when first married was that she never watch the Phil Donahue Show, since watching that made my mom unhappy, crying and complaining that nobody appreciated her and if she was paid for labor as a homemaker ... But, shows today have become even more divisive. Wifey watches only MSNBC like Rachel Carson, then faults me for Trump (how my fault?), though she could have just as easily have gone with Fox and faulted me for Biden. Few people seem able to think for themselves. She hated me criticizing Elon Musk, until I pointed out he wasn't a liberal and even made a MAGA-pivot while dissing California which gave him billions in tax credits (better to market his silly CyberTruck?). Anyway, my cars stay as long as I'm breathing, and look at that, the fish are biting (song "I'm gonna miss her").
I had the same problem with witch 2. She was supposed to get a job if we got married. Watched the soaps with the laudy blaws in suits and evening gowns. Eventually bitched her way out of my life.
When friends started calling and asking me to come over for coffee, but leave the weapon at home, I knew the situation was out of control.
A dog to talk to, coffee to drink and a car to tinker on, life is good.
