New Toy

[TedWoodbutcher]

Text on my phone reads:

Her: "Your latest toy is here"

 

[GeoHorn]

I take it that text was from the wife….?

 

[TedWoodbutcher]

Yes. I thought it was tool for us. But maybe it is really toy for me.

 

[GeoHorn]

Women think of us all as little boys as long as we suckle.

SWEET!!!!!

Looks like a Homestead?

What the message really says is, "Now you owe me BIG time"!

 

[Yotekiller]

At least she knew about it! LOL I never tell mine when I buy ANYTHING. But then, we don't share money or bank accounts, we just split household bills evenly. She pays for her vehicle and stuff she wants and I do the same. But it works for us very well....

When my wife either sees the new tool {TOY} or the charge on the CC I tell her I bought it for her. LOL
Enjoy your new tool. {TOY}.

Nice.

My wife and my relationship is different.

My wife would say: "That grapple thingee that you SHOULD have bought 3 years ago!! Is finally here. I can't move it cuz it's heavy and greasy. It's been so long since I told you that YOU need it for the property! Why did you wait so long? What's wrong with you"?!

My reply: "Thank you, Babe. I'll move it when I get home. I waited because I didn't think we needed it. I'm the saver, not the spender. But on your incessant badgering, I bought one. To shut you the hell up. (2 second pause) Just kidding. But I prefer forks, but, Love you Babe! I'll take care of it and move it to the back of the shop. What's for dinner Honey"?

My wife: "Your favorite, lover! Brisket beef has been smoking on the pellet stove for 9 hours, baked potatoes and all the fixin's."

We are all blessed and beat at the same time.

You would have loved being a fly on the wall when I came home with a wood chipper.

My wife never complains about anything I buy because I could easily sell something to pay for it if I needed to, but I never need to!!

 

[GeoHorn]

Is that …Manure…?? I smell..??

I got divorced 26 years ago.
Several years after the divorce I met this adorable (twice divorced) French woman, 12 years younger than me.
She made it very obvious the she WANTED to get married.

I had a nearly new small aluminum boat with a relatively new 25HP 2 stroke outboard.
Stumbled on a deal, 100 miles away, for a nearly new Honda 4 stroke.
I said: lets take a drive to go look at that motor.
It was nice!
I bought it!

All the way home she wanted to know why I bought that motor, .....when I already had one.
My outboard motor standards were apparently a lot higher than what she could tolerate.

She did me a big favor, and dumped me, over a year later.
She saved me from what would have eventually been my divorce #2, .... and she has now been divorced for at least a 3rd time.

I dodged a repeat financial bullet!

About 8-9 years ago, I started talking about looking for a small fishing boat. She pretended to listen, and I started looking. One Friday afternoon, I let her know that I was going to go check out a boat in Bend, which is about 100 miles from me. Took our 5-year old daughter for a ride, and we got home late after stopping for dinner. Into the house, and off to bed.

Wife and I hop up in the morning and as we’re backing out to head into town, she looks out by the shop and asks, “Who’s boat is that?” It’s yours, Sweetheart.

I still don’t believe she really thought that I’d been looking for a nice 18’ aluminum windshield boat for a couple months and was just going to drive 4 hours to kick tires. That was a great little boat…

Come to think about it, she asked the same thing when the B2650 was delivered…

I swear, we communicate. She just doesn’t listen.

SWEET!!!!!

Looks like a Homestead?

Yes. Finally installed. Pretty neat ”toy”

 

[mdhughes]

My wife came over while I was watching GP Outdoors one day and saw him using a grapple and said that maybe we should get one and asked how much they were. I told her and then she said maybe not.

2 years later I talked to her about getting one and she said that it would make it easy on me and I ordered one. I also bought a Homestead Implements grapple.

I wish I would have gotten one the first time I saw GP using his. A lot easier then using pallet forks. A little harder on my waistline (don't get on off the tractor as much).

Last spring I told my girlfriend I was planning to buy a boat. Her response was "Sounds like a great idea. When you find one, I will pay half"... And she did! She's been in the boat one time...

Maybe she just wanted to see less of you!!!!

That's highly probable! She says she's been waiting 28 years for me to marry her so maybe she's trying to bribe me....
