I realized my dad's love language is not words of affirmation or quality time, but

finding the perfect drill bit for a project he started 5 years ago

I asked my dad what his ideal Father's Day relaxation involved.

He said, 'A few hours in the garage, finally organizing my screws by size and thread.'

I got my dad a new smart thermostat for Father's Day, thinking it would finally put an end to his temperature tinkering.

Now he just complains that the future isn't warm enough.

For Father's Day, we offered to help my dad organize his meticulously curated garage.

He just smiled and said, 'No thanks, that's *my* version of a meditation retreat. Don't touch anything, you'll disrupt the feng shui of the socket set.'
