Isn't it funny how we men daydream about all the great gear we could have bought with money spent on house repairs or car breakdowns. All the while our spouses are thinking of all the "lovely" household decorative stuff they could've ordered online with the money we spent on our gear. My wife can get away with hiding a new dress or two among the old stuff and pawning it off on me as being old. I just ignore the NEW tags hanging under her arm. After she hangs it back in the closet I go read the evidentiary tags, total up what she spent, and order something NEW online for the same amount... for me. She doesn't always notice the small stuff when it comes in, if I beat her to the door, so I don't feel obligated to mention every little item.

But my new hammock stuck out like a BIG OLE sore thumb when I stretched it out across the garden the first time. When she asked me where it came from... I don't think she believed me when I quoted her previous remark and said, "What this old thing" <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> Brum <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
