#his wife looking very hot while polishing or sharpening blades

[lady-charinette]

AU where Loid is still a spy but he goes to WISE HQ like a normal office worker, he clocks in and does his cool spy stuff and takes his lunch break with his other spy buddies in the break room.

Yor always packs his lunch, a cute lunch box, sometimes she accidentally switches his and Anya's so Loid ends up taking Anya's lunchbox to work

His colleagues are jealous either way

"Wow, look at how cute the legendary spy's bento is!!"

"Wooah!"

"My wife makes them for me." says Twilight, while picking up what was once a grilled octopus but is now a piece of charcoal. "They're absolutely delicious."

There's one half of WISE that is envious and amazed at Twilight's bento boxes his wife with questionable cooking skills and an even more questionable occupation makes. The other half is just genuinely horrified how Twilight survives eating it every time.

Daybreak swears he once saw something bright green crawl out of it.

Some of the other spies think the legendary Twilight's wife is training her husband to be resistant to all forms of poison via food. They think Twilight is nearly unkillable.

Meanwhile Sylvia keeps making discreet doctor's appointments for Twilight to check if his organs are all intact and half of WISE's budget goes out the window for that and Twilight's life insurance.

Anya is bummed out that Twilight treats his job like any other ordinary office worker does instead of 'cool spy stuff'. She absolutely is terrified and curious about Yor's profession.

Yor just thinks her husband is a professional stalker with an office cubicle from all the intel about some low profile people Loid talks about during dinner.

Anyway, Spy x Family office AU with Yor still being an assassin but it's only vaguely hinted at

A 1955 Dodge Bought For Work and Rebuilt as a Brother’s Tribute

Dwayne Waters got his classic truck from his brother. Richard Waters was a Texas State Trooper and was always buying and selling—his wife Judy never knew what he was going to come home with. In mid January 1987, Richard came home with a 1955 Dodge Job Rated pickup truck that he bought from a guy in Amarillo. Judy was honest—the truck was ugly.

The truck may have been ugly, but it ran well and it was the perfect workhorse for Richard’s side job, a disc rolling business. He and Dwayne traveled all over the Panhandle with a machine used to sharpen the disc blades on plows. A lift welded onto the rear bumper raised the heavy disc blade roller into the bed of the Dodge. In October 1988, a few days after driving the truck on a job with Dwayne, Richard died after a long fight with cancer.

For the next 15 years, the Dodge stayed stored in a family barn. Eventually, Dwayne started thinking about rebuilding it, and in 2003 he and his mother Carolyn bought the truck from Richard and Judy’s son Luke. “We had to cut down a tree that had grown in front of the door of Dad’s old barn,” he told us.

Dwayne hauled the Dodge from the Amarillo area to his home in Denton where he started planning the restoration. “As I analyzed the truck, I realized that the motor was not the original and that the frame had been modified to accept the motor. I knew then that the Dodge could not be restored as original, and decided to do a ‘subtle’ restoration.”

Things got rolling in 2006 when Dwayne got in touch with Bob Hollingsworth at Bob’s Nas T Chaseez & Exhaust in Burkburnett, Texas. He disassembled the truck in his own shop and hauled the frame to Burkburnett, where Bob used the dimensions to build a new chassis. Mandrel-bent 2×4-inch 0.120 steel tubing forms the custom frame, equipped with all-new mounts for the engine, transmission, and cab. An independent front suspension from Art Morrison Enterprises features a pair of Aldan adjustable coilover shocks plus a 1-inch antisway bar to firm up the ride and handle any wrinkles in the road. A power rack from AGR Performance was added to move the Dodge in the right direction. At the other end, a 9-inch Ford rear was built with 3.73:1 gears and a locker, suspended by a four-bar setup and another pair of Aldan coilovers. Wilwood disc brakes were mounted all around; 12-inch rotors are paired with four-piston calipers.

Bob sent Dwayne sketches of various tire and wheel sizes to help him choose the best size. Dwayne decided on 20s and 18s and ordered the Billet Specialties Chicayne five-spoke style through Briscoe Tire & Alignment in Denton. “I bought a low end set of tires at first, knowing that they would be out of date and would need to be replaced by the time I actually drove the truck,” Dwayne explains. Today the Dodge rolls on 275/60R20 and 255/55R18 Michelins.

As work progressed on the chassis, Dwayne ordered an engine. He wanted to keep everything Mopar oriented, and in 2006 contacted Street & Performance for one of their 345hp 5.7L Hemis with polished aluminum heads. S&P also provided the Mopar five-speed automatic transmission.

Dwayne brought the finished chassis, engine, and transmission back to his home garage in Denton where everything was dismantled to have the frame powdercoated. For several years, the project stayed there while Dwayne decided how to proceed. “I did clean it and polished it several times before parties,” he explains. He also managed to take the unfinished pickup to a local show. “I vise gripped, clamped, and zip-tied it together to look like a truck. It got lots of attention that day, even in its rustic condition.”

After visiting Hatfield Restoration in Canton, Texas, and meeting owner Gary Hatfield and general manager Dale Barnes, he was convinced that this was the right place for finishing the “subtle restoration” on the Dodge. “They were impressed with my truck as they noticed that it had very little rust for its age, and were eager to work on the Dodge because it was different. I trusted their expertise and let then recommend how to restore it. I just asked that they keep it looking like the original truck.”

It still does look like an original 1955 Dodge, with some minor modifications. Before those could be made, Hatfield Restorations had to repair all the dents added loading and unloading the disc roller. “If I had known that someday I was going to pay to have all those dents taken out of the back of my truck, I would have been more careful,” Dwayne says. The few custom body mods were subtle, as he requested. The filled cowl vent, shortened stepboards, smoothed hood with hidden latches, custom mirrors, and customized 1967 Camaro bumpers, improve the looks of a truck that was not originally built for beauty. Other custom mods include tinted glass and 1932 Ford taillights with custom brackets. The bed floor was replaced with oak panels and stainless steel runners.

The paint was sprayed at Hatfield Restorations. Dwayne’s original plan was to paint the truck red, but he ultimately decided to stay with the original color. Banner Green was offered on 1954-1956 Dodge trucks. It was Chrysler code DT7121 back then, now available as PPG code 41480. North Texas Quality Chrome plated all the brightwork.

Like the exterior, the cab interior has stock style with a contemporary makeover. Hatfield Restorations is set up for upholstery work and covered the bench seat, door panels, and dash inserts in light brown leather. Matching leather covers the Billet Specialties Vintec steering wheel mounted on an ididit tilt shifter column, and Mercedes square-weave carpet covers the floor. The instrument panel holds blackface gauges from New Vintage USA’s Woodward series. The rest of the dash has been filled and smoothed and houses controls and vents for the Vintage Air A/C system. The invisible Out Of Sight Audio system provides the soundtrack via Bluetooth technology. Wiring was simplified by the use of a Painless Performance harness.

Dwayne took delivery of the truck in October 2015 at the Goodguys Lone Star Nationals in Fort Worth. It had been 27 years since his last ride with his brother. His first ride in the just-finished restoration was a three-lap trip around the oval track of the Texas Motor Speedway, accompanied by his wife, Lisa. Since then he’s continued to show the Dodge, picking up a few trophies along the way. The trophies are an honor, but Dwayne reminded us that the 1955 Dodge Job Rated was built to be the real honor—to Richard, who would no doubt be proud.
