It took me 11 years... and cost me dearly...

...to train the Wife. Yesterday was our 11th anniversary. The 11th is Steel so...

So she surprised me with one of these (the .22 LR version) Henry Golden Boy which she had seen me handle one time at the Gun Store and just happened to remember that fact. I think since it was so shinney Brass she could pick it back out...







And I surprised her with this....
































I guess I "won" but at what cost?

... and broke!

Ah well.... when you get old and all things are paid off you gotta have your fun before you kick the bucket. Not gonna worry about.

I am very popular with the Wives right now... but I am probably very much in danger of the Guys beating me up. I probably will lay low for a while!

Wow all of that is exciting.

Occasionally I do something to build up "points" with my wife, though I notice that my point totals steadily expire.
