View Full Version : When the wife is not at home...
One of the recent threads reminded me of things I reserve for "when the wife is not at home. Some are experiments and some are recurring, a few examples:
Test firing a rifle or pistol in the garage (suitable large chunk of wood for backstop).
Boiling an animal skull on the kitchen stove to get the meat and fat off for mounting.
Once I "tumbled" some brass in the dryer that was placed in two cotton bags with rice and jeweler's rouge.
What have you done?

Test fire small caliber in the master bathroom closet.
Cured some moly resin sprayed parts in the lower oven in kitchen ( it's never used ). ;)
Small Arms test fire, into suitable backstop.
Washing K&N style air filters for race car in dishwasher.
Placing mounted tire in over to "grow" it in order to get the stagger needed for the go-cart.

All you Fifth Ammendment guys are no fun.
Just start off your story with "Well, my buddy once told me......"
I doubt any of you can be as bad as Mr Harsey anyway. :cool:

When the wife isn't home, I tend to the children while she enjoys a well-deserved vacation.
She has the important job.
I'm just the plow horse.

I think we have a winner!:lifter
Well, I am divorced from the “Wicked Witch of the West”, so here it goes. The ex went somewhere (who knows, who cares), so the boys and I started riding the Suzuki DS80’s (small dirt bikes) around the back yard, they were around 8 & 10 at the time. Which of course lead to riding in the house and through the house.
The track consisted of around the fence line of the back yard into the house through the sliding glass door into the family room, up two stairs into the dining room, around the dining table and then jump the two stairs down into the family room and out to the back yard again.
It was so exciting and I got into my “race” mode and block passed one of the boys in the dining room and sent him and his bike into the wall which left this little tell tale “knobby” marks on the wall, as well as a hole from the handle bars…
Well you know the rest of the story…:rolleyes:
PS: But I did win!!!!:lifter
Which of course lead to riding in the house and through the house.
But of course. It is after all a logical expansion to the route. :rolleyes: However what really scares me is that I could very easily see myself doing the exact same thing! :eek:
Love it.

Hell, I didn't know my "ex" re-married!:D
Hell, I didn't know my "ex" re-married!:D
Are you tall, blond, thin and blue eyed? Because my boys are both tall, thin, blond and blued and the “ex” is NOT tall, thin, blond or blue eyed, I never did like that woman!
If so you owe me a hell of a lot of child support!:D
