Ha! I'm afraid it will be another year before I can afford pants for my dog...probably more like two. I'll have to get out of the doghouse first

I ordered a smoker for Father's Day. It wouldn't have been bad, but it cost $450 shipped. "But" says I "I talked them down $100! Think of the money I saved us!"

That argument never seems to work...

Not even when she told me I HAD to buy myself a smoker so I could cook the dinner we're responsible for providing for her family's reunion next week.

If I get my AR9 pistol sold b that I just finished building for myself I'll be able to say the TNT was the birthday present she forgot to get me. If not, I don't know how to explain the sword AND the big pile of gun parts I ordered. Midway has crazy discounts for your birthday if you're registered on their site...which may have started me down the path building the AR9 pistol in the first place....

Does it matter that I was able to get the parts to finish the Grendel builds for my two daughters? Nope (well, OBVIOUSLY I had to get some parts to finish a build I'm working on for myself while I was at it...and bullets to load for my daughter's and my Grendels and the 6.5CMs). My wife buys that "think of the money I saved us" argument even less when it comes to guns and ammo... She'll be thanking me when the zombies start riding though!!!!!

In the woods of Ricky Ricardo: " [I'm gonna] have some 'splainin' to do!"

Life is hard for squirrels who are attracted to shiny objects....I mean, my brain is the size of a macadamia nut for Pete's sake! Is it any wonder I have no self control or attent.... Hey, what's that over there???!!!
