i once got home from work and was more excited about the delivery than seeing Chelle. Yeh, big mistake...
This was posted on a woodworking forum, not sure who wrote it. "My one fear in life is that after I die my wife is going to sell all my tools (insert hammock gear) for what I told her I paid for them" Could be applied to a large number of us I guess. Just received my Yeti and WBBB today - thanks Brandon.
Nope. No good wifey stories. I get everything sent to my office. That way I never miss a shipment and my wife doesn't have a chance to give me grief over my purchases. By the time I get it home and out of the box, the gear looks all the same to her.
Got my Claytor the other day from a forum member (thanks again Optimator). My 12 year old intercepted the box (as he always does when dad gets something in the mail, good boy). All was right with the world. Good old Optimator included a hammock forums sticker which I proudly stuck on my truck with the rest of my stickers. Last night we were going out to eat and the first words out of her mouth when we got in the truck were "When'd you get a hammock?" DOH!
My cries of "But honey I NEED it for my Boundary Waters trip." went unanswered. All I know is now there's some kind of expensive purse that I've got to find before her birthday.
I say normal wife behavior, although my wife is oddly respectful of the mail.
A mean wife would have converted the fabric into an evening gown and negligee that you'd never get to see. I was once married to a mean wife.
