You Cannot Imagine My Surprise

Post by Wm.Traynor » 21 May 2022, 9:43 am

I had gone out to the garage to check on a project and was returning to the house when, in the dim porch light, I espied what looked like a box of some sort, sitting comfortably on one of the porch chairs. Of course I wondered, "How did that get there" but the courier must have knocked while I was showering. After bending for a closer look, the words, "United States Postal Service", became clearer. "What's this", thought I; "Is my wife getting parcels from the US?" I grabbed it and raced inside for my glasses, which told me it was mine!
"Could it be!?", I thought. "In this huge box?" YES! It was from Mr. Coggins, the man from Dednutz Products and inside was a Game Reaper mount for my M70 Winchester :D :D :D

You have to tell me how you managed to get in the house unnoticed.
EVERY TIME I manage to acquire something new to add to my collection, the wife manages to walk through the garage and find me red faced :oops:
Even when I think she is coming home late from work, she manages to be in the garage. :crazy:

Get a wife who not only allows you to buy new guns,but actively encourages it

OK. The mundane, plain, unvarnished truth is........a) my wife is away until tomorrow afternoon
b) she has known that it was coming for yonks
c) she has known I was a shooter since the time we first met

So, no, I don't have a combative relationship with her although I couldn't say the same for her relatives after the PA thing. Sadly, the weather has been so cold, rotten and dark that I could not see well enough to sharpen my leather stitching tool, so that did not progress today and won't tomorrow either the way things are at present. So I did some inside chores today and am ready to go with the Game Reaper and another rifle job tomorrow. The leathercraft can wait; it is not nearly as important :roll: ;) :D
