    WW found in Knoxville...

    I was in Tn (Pigeon Forge) and met up with a friend in Knoxville for dinner with his wife and son. Well we were getting my 2 year old out of the van and he stuck his thumb in the automatic door of the Odyssey. It closed on his thumb and then automatically opened back up (safety feature). While he was crying and my wife and I were consoling him I looked in the parking lot's gutter and saw a beefy wheel weight. I said "babe look over there"...."What am I looking at?" says the wife. I said " a wheel weight". She shook her head.......

    My wife thinks that if she were to split my head open, the only thing that would fall out would be boolits. Sometimes I make her mad enough, I think she is going to take a look.
    I did tell her though, Baby! There is ONE other item rolling around up there.

    The wife was holding him. I patted him on the head and asked if he would ever do it again and then I retrieved my bounty.

    Pigeon Forge, TN . . .

    So that's where I lost it . . . I'm sure you'll return it to it's rightful owner.

    My Gf has stopped calling me, "Honey" and now calls me, "Bullet Boy"....

    I think the relationship is going in the right direction!

    You should point out that you are in fact "Boolit Master."

    Mine always has furniture that needs movin', it's a never-ending rearrangement.
    But any reloading expense is OK.

    One of the wifes friends keeps trying to get her husband to go to the gym. Says the only way to keep him in shape is to have him to move the furniture

    Yesterday we helped move someone's washer & dryer, that was mostly drivin across town with the trailer
    but it was HOT out. Felt like work.

    Saw no WWs. Did have a bucket with me just in case.

    Ahhhhh........my wonderfull wife. Just this Sunday she proved again what a blessing she is. Our church has a 3-5 minute "glad handing" time for people to say "hi" to each other and welcome visitors etc. We met a guy who said he works (as a driver I think) for a local Caddy dealer. First thing my wife does is ask if he has access to WW. God bless her!!!! Now how was I supposed to stay focused on the sermon after that?


    ps The guy says they have a company that picks them up but he will try to get me a bucket or two.
