Re: Forgot to tell my wife...
Well I have been through that with my first wife. But she had a years notice and it didn't help one bit, snickers. I told her on my 39 th birth day that next year I was going to buy another boat. Had owned one when we got married and had sold it when kids had came along, and now that the kids were of a age to enjoy it, it was time for a new one. So a few weeks before my BD I started searching and found a project boat, It even had a small tree growing in it. Her look of shock was priceless when I backed it into the drive way. As she stomped off her comment was you will never get me out in that thing. After several weeks work with the help of my 3 girls, a few new parts. it was ready for the first lake test, On a nice warm Saturday morning as the girls were getting ready the wife comes out all ready to go with us so I called a family meeting for a vote to see if she was allowed to go with us. she lost. snickers. My X wife is one of those who by constant complaining can take to joy out of any event. We did let her go on the trips after that and by the end of the season she did admit it was a lot of fun.
My second wife gave my the down payment on my present boat, I traded up in several ways
