    In light of this:

    I had ice cream for breakfast.

    You're looking for the "bragging" thread. This is the "confessions" thread.

    I thought a bragging thread was in order.


    My wife was anti-gun before me, now she has gone shooting but still isn't crazy about the idea of guns/ammo. When I was looking for a new M&P I saw one in the classifieds. I PM'ed the guy before I had permission (from the wife) to buy anything. I offered less than he was asking thinking I'd get shot down. He accepted. Sweet! Except I don't have any money...the Mrs. let me use some of her cash!!! (we keep separate envelopes of a little bit of cash in the safe, spending money for ourselves)

    Fast forward a couple of months, a member of a group that shall not be named bought a gun for me because he knew I wanted one and couldn't afford it. Told the Mrs. about it, after she got over the shock of how nice this guy is and how crazy this sounded, she said, "well you can afford it, just pay him for it." I was not about to bring up the idea of buying a gun to her, but just telling her I'll make payments to this guy, she said just go for it! She's coming around!

    I'm bragging on my wife, she's awesome! :cool:

    I earned my full bonus this year.... because I kick ass.
    Looks like I'll get a promotion this year... because I kick ass.

    I may be able to KEEP my full bonus as well.... because my wife let me. ;)

    No gun stuff, though. Lots of Jeep parts are on the way!

    Finishing the 1-ton build that has been on jack stands for 2 years.

    Front Dana 60 complete rebuild
    4.56 gears
    either a Detroit or Ox locker (haven't decided)
    all new steering
    Lots of small stuff
    Already have the rims (stock H2) and tires (37" BFG Krawlers)
    The rear 14-bolt is already under the 'old CJ

    Spent some time this week welding up the new front bumper, which is also the front spring hanger. Not to brag (but that is the point of the thread), but the welds don't look too bad for being 2 years w/o practice.

    I have an awesome wife. She's got her lifetime LTCH and wants to learn all about all the guns, and she's all into musical instruments. The first one, before she died, I had to cash in the AR and the 82 US Strat just to pay the bills. Does it say badly of me that I don't really regret her death? I don't care, because I don't really regret it.

    If I started bragging on my wife I would run out of space.....she is my angel.

    We used to do a lott of road trips on her Dyna-Glide. My springer was a flat out hot rod so we used her scoot for the trips. She knew it was a chore to stay out 5 to 7 days on her bike so she traded her Dyna.


    In the smokey's



    On this Road Glide. She did this as a surprise to me.
