A Woman Like Mine!
« on: December 19, 2003, 03:22:25 AM »
Gotta' tell you folks somthing about my wife!
My wife is a fanatic about getting the mail. She always sees it before
I do. A few days ago I got a sale paper from AIM Surplus with
a lot of Igman ammo on sale in it. I asked her to order me 5 boxes
of the 6.5x55 Swede. ............ She had already ordered me 6.

I do a lot of re-loading also, I have an old set of "Balance" type
powder measure scales. My wife watched me a week or so ago
while I was loading some rounds. She said "You Really Enjoy doing That don't you"  Yes, I said......
Guess what came to the house
yesterday in a UPS truck!  ......A brand new set of Lyman DIGITAL
scales.

Now folks that "is" the kind of wife we all need!

Now that's someone who really has your best interests at heart.  You are a fortunate man.  Mine used to say "Honey, what happens if I go like this.......".  Mikey.

S.Sumner you are a lucky man!!!!!  I was watching the guy on CSI use one reloading lastnite?  RCBS one.  He was making 9mm rounds to test.  Its my favorite show next to the Simple Life??   At   least we get to see two hotties and laugh at them? There isn't much on TV is there?  I also watch the history channel all the time and Comabat(italian version kidding) and "old leave it to beaver" reruns too.  Can you believe that was primetime in my day?  Gosh I'm old??                                   BigBill

I think I got another gun safe from mine the box looks big enough to be one of those 8 gun safes?  Did you know you can fit 16 surplups in one of those?? If you arrange them front to back in 4 rows? "4X4X4X4" My oldest son told me to pick out any new surplup I want for Christmas?

BEWARE!  
My wife insists that I buy any guns, ammo, reloading gear that I want. :eek:
She also figures that she is therefore entitled to get whatever SHE wants :(
She also ALREADY spent all of the money that MY wants would require :(  :wink:

S Sumner,
You are a lucky man!! When my wife left, my friends all told me there were "more fish in the sea". I told them,"great, but the last one took all my bait!"
Take good care of her!
Cheers,
Dave

God bless our troops....and THANK YOU!!!!

You are a very lucky man!  My wife doesn't take much interest in my firearm hobby but she doesn't hassle me about it either.  I consider it a good thing  :)
