My wife is great with stuff like getting a new wood stove. All I had to do last year was mention that I was thinking of replacing our old smoke dragon slammer install insert with a new one and she was all for it. A few years ago when I said I was thinking of getting a motorcycle she said, "Go for it, you only live once!" Then when I got tired of the motorcycle and said, "I'm thinking of trading my car in for a 350 Z sports car she said, "If you think you'd enjoy a car like that you should do it." I've been retired since I was 36 and my wife, who is a few years younger than me, still works 30 hours a week. However, she works because she enjoys her job and isn't a home body like I am. She was all for the new 7 ton electric wood splitter I bought a few weeks ago.
Pretty much same for me, except the part about the car, bike, splitter, working wife, etc. - and I'll be retiring somewhere @ 80 most likely .
I think we better delete this thread before our wives find this site. I'll be sleeping in the woodshed!
2nd that - especially since I don't even have a woodshed.
