Been there many times.
I usually work on my pickup late at night and into early am.
I frequently fall asleep on my padded creeper. Its unusually
comfortable and quiet under the truck. Eventually my wife
and dog come out and the dog gives me a wet slurp.
Then I scratch the wife behind the ears and kiss the dog.
No wait! I meant to say I scratch the DOG's ears, and kiss
the wife. They make me come in and go to bed. Then I dream
of fun 'rod runs' with my Interceptor in the back and building
my next engine project.
