I woke up this morning all excited about the 'honey do' list that Janet had waiting for me. I gulped down my coffee and dove right in on it. I got two truck loads of trash hauled down to the dump, got the back deck all cleaned up and even did some raking around the back.

Then it happened. It started raining. I couldn't believe it. Here, I been workin' my butt off for a solid month, one day a week off, lookin' forward to comin' home to do some more work and it rains. what happened to Irish luck?

Guys, this story's just gettin' started. I go in the house, plop down on the sofa to towel off my head and here comes Janet. She has the audacity to tell me that, since it's raining, I oughta' just go out in the shop and fire up the pot. I look at her in total disbelief that this woman that I love and would die or kill for would say something like that to me and then SHE HANDS ME A COLD ONE!

Fine. I'm hot as a two dollar pistol now. I saunter out to the shop, fire the pot, take a pull on my drink and start sorting through molds. The pot gets up to heat, I get the mold up to heat and the boolits are fallin' out of the mold! I can't even take my frustration out on the hinge bolt with the hickory hammer handle!

Y'all think that's bad? Brace for impact.

About an hour goes by and Janet walks in the shop WITH A SANDWICH, A BAG OF CHIPS AND ANOTHER COLD ONE! Guys, I can't handle this. I need a hug.

Sounds like she deserves a hug. Unless she wrecked the car.

Have you been smoking some of that wacky tabaccky?

I am predicting a long visit from your Mother in Law pretty soon.

Actually, Crash, she's welcome! Mom served during WWII as a nurse in the Pacific theater and has more 'war' stories than a lot of guys I've talked to. She has a great sense of humor and, if you ain't watchin', she'll rag ya' a bit.

You probably got a case of lead poisining from eatin' and drinkin' while playing with all that lead and it's got your head screwy...

Sounds about like I'll trade most of my days for that train wreck, LOL.

Maybe it's a hint she wants to go shooting? Be brave, Jim, and take one for the team.

Janet and I shoot together most every time I come home. She's got a 4 inch nickled Smith model 19 and she's very good with it, too. Not too long ago, coupla' months I think, she wanted to start shooting .22 rifle. So, I bought her a Savage model 64.

I braced myself when I saw the thread title. Glad it was just another case of a "Marital Bliss".

I was wondering the same thing:) I love my wife a lot, but 2 weeks shy of being married to her for 45 years, I don't think she has ever brought me a "Cool One":cry: She will, however, bring me a glass or bottle of cold water if I'm too dirty to come into the house for it.

Mine doesn't shoot or bring me a cool one, but she does get a paycheck and can cook real good. I thought this was going to be like my day yesterday. I vacuumed, mowed the yard and (mistake - too lazy to get the hand cart) carried 65# box of lead from the porch to the garage. Was going to do a brake job on her car tonight, but those 285x16's are too heavy.

Last time that happened to me, we wound up with two new sofas and laminate flooring.
