Folks this is in line of a joke. I do not have any frustrations. I find it adorable. She is a great partner, I need her more than she needs me. She is a competent Minister of Finance and Fun.

She went to Cincinnati for the weekend. I got to stay home and what the Bogart marathon, baseball, have my brother over, clean guns, and visit with my father in law. Perfect weekend.

Well, mind you her birthday month is March and anniversary is July. Today she calls me while the Braves were looking like blowing another 3 run lead. She tells me the big mall has a Louis Veton store.

She bought two of them. If I were less of a man, I would buy a Greener I have been lusting for. I told her that.

If anyone needs to move this post to another sub forum, please do so.

Well, at least she knows. Sometimes you gotta toot your own horn or get run over.


Never mistake motion for action.

I booked a coues deer hunt and since I had never hunted them before and it is quite different than any hunting I have done, had to buy a lot of gear. The reckoning is coming...
You got off cheap with Louie.
Just got back from our anniversary dinner and wouldn't trade her for the world Wink

If your lady's new bags actually have the name 'Louis Veton' on them, you can get her back by paying $50K for a Holland & Holland SXS and bringing home a Mossberg 500 pump gun. Smiler

You get partial credit for misspelling it. I had no idea what you were referring to.

Which means I get full credit. Cuz I just looked it up.

My wife has never uttered that brand name.....now consider myself blessed.

Like when I read about a traffic accident that happened minutes after I passed the spot.

My wife tax after every big hunt is a trip to Louis V. As long as I can keep hunting, it is a small price to pay.

This could turn into a funny thread. My wife always points out her shoe, perfume and handbag obsession could never catch up with my gun and hunting obsession. She is also my hunting buddy and her favorite rifle is her Rigby London Best .275 Rigby.

Safe hunting and safe shopping Smiler

I learned a trick. I will point out a rifle or shotgun I really like. I will Jedi mind trick.

That would be a great for you. Get her to hold it. I go on about how awesome it is. She wants it. Then looses interest quickly. I which point I claim it for my own.

Worked on her Mosrl 70 Supergrade 270, TC Encore 32 Hornet and TC 7mm/08, Custom 308 Win, Browning 1911/380, and a beautiful Benellia 28 gauge. They are all “hers”.

Was in a gun store in SoCal several years ago with my wife. The store specializes in high-end sporting shotguns. I spent some time handling and slobbering over a really nice Beretta Diamond Pigeon EELL 20ga Sporting. Looked around at some other guns and then left the store. I remarked later that I really liked the Beretta and how well it fit me.

We returned home to Arizona and all was forgotten, until about 2 weeks later when my wife asked me to take her to the store. Along the way she directed me to a local gun store. Waiting for me was the very same Beretta Diamond Pigeon EELL I had seen in California. Turns out that she had followed up with the store in California, purchased the gun, and had it shipped to a local store here in Arizona.

I plan on keeping the gun, and the wife.

I can sneak in some kinds of electronic test equipment but she knows the guns. No point in hiding them.
The good news is, she doesn't complain much.
About that, anyhow...

My wife works in somewhat the opposite way.

A couple years back I bought Remington model 660 in 308. I always liked those little guns. When I got home my wife took one look at it and immediately thanked me for buying her a new rifle.

I did actually promise to help her to find something she would like. I just didn't have that particular rifle in mind. She did say I could shoot whenever I wanted though.
