Through the eyes of The Engineer
Thursday, July 29, 2010 at 6:55AM 
This is The Engineer. Many of my long time readers will know him as TOG, The Old Goat. The Engineer is the love of my life, father of K1 through K3 and has more chest hair than any other man on the planet. While no scientific studies have been done in support of this claim, I stand by it, whole heartedly and unreservedly. The standing joke for K1 through K3 is to see their dad without a shirt and utter the comment "Nice sweater, Dad!" Bah dum bum! Get's 'em every time.
Other little known facts about The Engineer are the things he sees on his job. Things like this:
Or this...
Is it any wonder when The Engineer said "come see what I see at work" that I dilly dallyed? While the Engineer in TOG thrills to the sight of conduit in a parking garage or roof-top cooling units or hospital beds (he knows the model numbers, lifespan and everything), these are not the things that make Asthmagirl's goofy heart beat faster. No, it's not the chest hair either, that's just a bonus!
These are the things the Engineer knew I would want to see...
Puget sound with Maury Island jutting out in the middle...
And of course... my favorite subject!
So thanks TOG/Engineering dude! I'm saying this publically so there's no denying it...
You were right!
AG out!
PS ~ This is not a solicitation for you to send me pictoral proof of men with chest hair. Seriously. If I want to see that, I'll look at TOG!
Namaste!

Awwwww... so nice to have someone who *gets* you
beautiful shots
That last shot is incredible.
Speaking of incredible, would it be possible to post a photo of this chest hair so we can compare and contrast to other chests we have seen? Not that I've seen many, and not that I"ve seen many hairy ones...but I've seen my fair share of hairy backs. It's sort of a morbid curiosity....
I've not made my blog rounds the last few days and am so glad I got here before this and the moon shot were too far down the list! What a wonderful, hairy goat you have! Sounds like a great guy. And the photos ... I just don't even have the words to say how much I love the shots of the rising moon! Fantastic photography skills you got there, Mrs. Wonderful Hairy Goat!
Now that's true love!
<><
What an amazing man. :)
Those photos look so nice and COOL!
I will never be able to look at TOG the same way again. Thanks for sharing!!
Living with 3 women...TOG is a Saint in my book! :) Seriously...you are truly blessed. :)
I'm sorry, but TOG does not allow images of his chest or back. Some things are best left to the imagination!
And yes, TOG is all that and Costco size bag of chips for tolerating the wife, the daughters AND the Brute Squad!
I recently found your blog and I love it! Your stories (and sense of humor) are great and your photos are wonderful. Thanks so much for sharing.
BTW, I thought my husband had more chest hair than anyone else on the planet! Good to know there's someone else.
I love seeing the hospital from the roof! TOG is a pretty great guy, but I'm glad to say I've never seen his chest (or back), hahahaha!
Great pics, love the colors!
Love your pictures. And I don't get the whole machinery stuff either, but love that he brought you up there so you could take pics of the sound and the mountain. So sweet.
Does he make house/office calls? The Engineer at our office, Vincent, seems unable to make the office not feel like a zero degree freezer
My father-in-law has that engineering gene... but it skipped right over the son of his that I married. And I don't have it, either. Something breaks and we scratch our heads, gaze curiously and say, "Huh. It's broken." But his dad will say, "I can fix that." BIG difference.
