A long time ago I overheard one of my wife's "friends" giving her a hard time about all my hobbies and how much I spend on them. The wife replied "It's not a problem, he's almost always home every night playing with one of his toys, where's your husband and who's he playing with?"

A couple of months later that friend had a drunk cop banging on the door, seams her husband was out somewhere with the cop's wife.

I agree... I dont know why people are saying which column and row they want... Wait till the damn sale comes up and grab what you can... Such a waste of time, people prolly sitting infront of there computer staring at them all day, then there gonna be depressed when the ones they wanted are gone. I could care less, since the 2 I want i know 100% ill get no matter what happens sale night :D
Its a tradition there just enjoying themselves . Wood runs have always been fun for people . The closer sale night comes the more the excitement grows . Once I post picks of the mods with a couple coats of poly people really get into it . Relax enjoy it :)

Funny thing is my wife in real life doesn't mind me buying mods, she always says the same thing. "How many devices do you need?" As long as the bills are paid she's really cool about all of my purchases.

Mamaw (29 years and counting) is a Lung Cancer Survivor, although it cost her the top lobe of her right lung. I could not smoke in the house for the last 18 months of my active addiction to Tobacco because of this. But she has no qualms of my Vaping. Whenever something new comes in the mail she just laughs, and murmurs something about "trading one habit for another".
Our Tax Preparer is also a Vapor, my vaping mentor in fact. Once he showed her his Golden Greeks and explained how much those setups cost, she stopped asking me how much my REOS cost. :)

After spending all day staring at traffic patterns through the windshield of a Freightliner, with 48,000 + lbs of lumber strapped to the trailer behind me, it is kinda relaxing to see Rob's handiwork. :)
Honestly, I could pick at least a dozen now, and that will change as they are sanded and finished. But after dumping $500 in the propane tank this week, and seven grandkids to but for as Christmas approaches (where did this year go ?) two will be my limit.
By the way, what are the red ones in the top row ? just curious...

HRH can have one because that heads off any nagging about my expenditure! :evil:

I'm tending towards a Woodvil for her because i just don't think a mini is going to last all day. I am now desperately trying to keep 2 tabs open at any one time so i can quickly switch away from posts showing the wood, or that blasted CNC machine of Rob's, which invariably grab her full and undivided attention.

These are like finding piles of $$$ money $$$$ sort of like buried treasure so I hope you'll say yes. ;)

Keep 'em coming cuz i've picked out THREE woodies and I think I've hit on a "creative funding source".

Life is all about the pursuit of wasting time in a pleasurable way, don't knock it till you've though about that for a minute :)
