See what I have to live with?

Post by Boo »

I want you guys to know what I have to go through daily. My wife of 30 years started laughing at me when I took one of my string jigs, put it on the dinning table and drilled a hole it it. She then mentioned the fact that when everyone was watching television I got off the couch, cocked my Vixen and shot a new foam target in the living room. (all safe, no one in that direction at all)
See what I live with? LOL!

I tell ya, we're kicking ourselves for buying a little 1 1/2 storey instead of a bungalow with a nice long basement for a range. :lol: How come real estate agents don't point out these sort of features? :lol: :lol: :lol:

LoL! You're right Scott!

A dog is truly a man's best friend.

If you don't believe it, just try this experiment.

Put your dog and your wife in the trunk of the car for an hour.

When you open the trunk, who is really happy to see you ?

You drilled into the table!!!!!!!!!
Drill all the way through, get a jar and drill a matching hole in the lid. Duct tape the lid to the bottom of the table so the holes align, then screw the jar to the lid. Perfect protection for when someone spills a drink on the table! You can simply push the liquid to the hole and it will drain into the jar without ruining the floor covering.
She'll be impressed with your creativity!!!!
