DH finished a truck and wanted to register it. The DMV website gave a cost range of $50-$900 (gee, thanks for narrowing it down for us) so he called and gave them details and they told him it would be $100. In my mind, I gave it $150. Ha. I wish. Try $270! We had it in the bank so it wasn't a crisis, but I told DH he'd better earn his keep after that total. (If you know anything about us AT ALL you can appreciate the humor in that part about earning his keep, LOL!)

Within an hour of that phone conversation, he called me back and said he'd picked up a job for $1100 for next weekend. After expenses, we'll get at least $700 because materials will be provided. THEN he hooked himself up with at least $500 in side work for Saturday and last night we went to look at a truck last night that will be here Sunday. He's charging $200 to diagnose it b/c he's got to take the engine apart to do so, but he told me he thinks it'll going to be $600-$700 on top of that for a rebuild.

Geez. Maybe I need to give him idle threats more often, LOL!
