    Wife Borrowed my Burrow

    My long awaited 20* Burrow arrived today while I was at work. Knowing it was due in, I made a call home and my wife metioned the package. She was home recovering from a surgery so I asked her to open it up and try it out for her afternoon nap which she seemed surprisingly upbeat about.

    Well when I got home, she oooh'd and ahhhh'd on and on about it.

    She even came right out and said she'd hang overnight with me once the weather broke. Then I told her about this nice couple that live just a couple of counties south of us who make all this fine gear for a living and how they had even called to see about driving it up to our house so I'd have it for an outing. Yeah, I layed it on kinda thick but I didn't want to waste the moment.

    Oh and any of you guys that got in on that great deal on the Sierra Design down mocs and didn't get a pair for your wife definately missed a great opp to justify a gear purchace.

    I sure hope I get my quilt back before the weekend.

    LoL nice Dave! It's all about timing I'm still trying to convince mine to even try it out.. I mean, who wouldn't want to? Hopefully I get her set straight this spring.

    Looking forward to the Hang buddy, see you there

    While she may let you use it for the weekend, consider it gone and order another. DAMHIK

    I think I'm going to have to go with Law Dog here ... When you bring it back on Sunday smelling like campfire she's going to wonder what you did to HER quilt ...
