I think I need to buy my husband a timepiece

7:30 was an hour and a half ago. Which was when he said he'd be home. Seriously I get the livestock/farming hours crap, but if you aren't going to be here when you say you are at least text me so I don't think you're dead (this is a real concern for me being it is one of the top most dangerous jobs with all the animals and heavy equipment).

ha, farmer time and trucker time are approximately 2 hours longer than normal time.
He'll be home 30 seconds after you finally decide to call him and check on him.

I thought she wanted to get a nice heirloom of some sort.

Ikr? I was coming into suggest some nice watches. That's DHs favorite thing to buy. Has quite the collection of timepieces.

Even so, his "ten minutes" also means at least 30.

I was thinking pocket watch.

Seriously though, he won't wear any sort of watch or ring, etc so I guess I'll just have to keep calling him!

He did come home at 930 and claimed he said he wouldn't be home before 730, not that he would be home at 730. Probably wishful listening on my part.

Lurker here... BF got a pocketwatch as a groomsmen gift and he loves it. He hates watches but he enjoys having his pocketwatch in his pocket for work... But he's an accountant not a farmer. :P
