Yup.. You know how it goes.. you cruz the Gun show and bring home a barrel, then read Shotgun News and hunt a reciever.. Next thing the good woman see's is her kitchen table covered with MACHINE GUNS<G> *I say: "But the light is better up here, and if I pop a spring.. in the Garage it's lost forever!" *Then comes the "Stormy Eyes!" > Many times I have told her that by the fuss she is making she is trying > to tell me just in other words that I should just die. My rules are that Cdr.Jen may lecture me anyway she chooses, but not while I am eating.. for I beleve stress sticks to the food and goes straight to my belly, and her words *must be filtered thru my ears and brain, to be tempered by my *spiritman.<G> The rules of our home try to keep complaints boiled down to the bare minimum. *Of course, when "Mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy!" All in all things work themselves out, or we just overlook the situation. Cdr.Jen has a built-in guilt meter if a mess get's out of hand. Too many T-shirts and out they go.. *Good ones with bad. Gunter! *address please again.. I have several Ranger T-shirts to share with you!!!<G> (ahhh-peace in the home) > And if that would happen she would miss my what she heartlessly calls a > mess. > > Just a few days ago my Good Woman told me that she is making up a list > of > my unfinished projects and she came up with 24.

I tried that.. I have a Scouter buddy who has a school bus he is willing to give me, he talked up the deal by agreement with me to have Cdr.Jen faint at the thought.. and mayby let me proceed with my 4x4 offroad Mad-Max "project".. *It did not work<G> > > Maybe you should ask Cdr.

Yes..Here's a tatic I tried.. I have aquired un-wanted "stuff" to impress Jen with my ability to throw out junk<G> you then load it on the trailer and haul it to the junkyard, then bring back more cool stuff!<G> > To give you an idea: Up to this day I have never parked my car in the > garage > because of valuable things. > Much of it wears a halo because it is Ranger-related. Very true- *I however built a HUGE Garageat out first house, and Cdr.Jen found a Larger House for us to buy with *smaller garage. She likes to open the door and throw my boots in there.. and tell stories about how scary it is to enter<G> One day the neighbor came over and asked her if I had a set of "feeler guages" he could borrow.. *I heard him, and went in.. reached thru my growing pile of treasures and picked up the tool just as she entered the part of the lecture.. "how he says he knows what is in there but you can't convince me that he...*sputter" I handed the tool to my neighbor who said..

After 10 years of Royal Rangers we have the same problem.. what a mess! > > Oh well, it is a hard way to convince another culture of the benefits of > being creative. *Yes.. but telling story, will fill any boreing event with laughter for hours.. This weekend, I was on the "code of silence" as I joined the Order of the Arrow brotherhood.. Cdr.Jen took the moment, to share with the group how Josh had begged for a cat.. and following a Mt.Man rendezvou I stoped at the pound with us in full Buckskin regailia! *No way! they said...
