Post of the day good sir
May have neglected to tell the wife I bought reloading supplies and a press. So, when the FedEx guy arrived, while we were walking the dog and handed me a box marked, "EXPLOSIVES". I had to answer for my sins...
Sorta.
She was grumpy with me so I used @Borderland as an excuse, "Hey could be worse! The guys on P-F are buying gunpowder in 20-pound increments. I just bought 1-pound."
"Why does someone need 20-pounds of gunpowder?"
"Hey, I try not to judge what other people do."
"I guess that's true. Hey! Did you just try to couch your behavior by saying it's not as bad as some other person's and now comparatively you don't look as bad?"
"But comparatively speaking..."
~Sigh~ "Okay, fine, you're right. I have to remind myself, it could be worse."
"See!"
Her:- "Well if it keeps you off the streets and off drugs, I suppose it's okay."
"Love you too honey."

Thanks @Borderland for being my scapegoat.

My wife was not aware that my G44 was on the way. Nor that it had been purchased. I had it on layaway, had been making my little cash deposits, and planned to get it for my birthday in June. But when the world started to get cra-cray, I had this little feeling that the gun world wasn’t go to go so smoothly again, so I ran over and paid it off and didn’t say anything about it.
Not to worry, my no-filter offspring told her for me.
We had a conversation about it. She isn’t ever surprised that I bring guns home, just doesn’t like to be surprised when I do so. Like, being involved. She agrees with your wife - this hobby keeps me off the streets. And I don’t buy 10000 rounds every time a crisis comes up. So there’s that.
Her: Another package came for you today. It weighs 50 pounds. MORE ammo?
Me: What RR said.
Thank goodness for the streets and drugs.Her:
"Love you too honey."
You didn't tell her it was 10-gallons of hand sanitizer?
That's dangerous right there...
Honey, I never complained when you bought a new washer and dryer when the old ones worked just fine. I never complained when you bought a new gas range and had gas installed, when the old electric range worked just fine. I never complained when you insisted on hardwood floors throughout the entire house when carpet worked just fine.
She never brings my hobbies up anymore because my needs are so minuscule, "comparatively speaking". I'm a simple man. I just need food, drink and some gun powder occasionally.

Taking a break from social media.
I am ASSuming that @Borderland bought both 8-pound kegs and some 1 pounders of a 4-pounder (VV comes in 4-pound jugs)

My wife sometimes complains - then remembers that she bought a $12,000 car without consulting me once.
So...I currently have a $12,001 max on what I can spend without her consultation, before I am really screwed.
Sometimes she catches me looking at motorcycles or cars online and says, "One day, I know I'm going to come home and there will just be a motorcycle in the parking space or garage. I've accepted that, because...it will still probably cost less than the car."
I had 8 cases of ammo and a big box of powder and primers show up, wife didn't even bat an eye. I think she realizes that being at home all day isn't going to help with my spending habits. Plus I have been telling her for months that shit is going to get crazy and ammo/reloading items are going to be scarce. She just asked if it was dangerous and if I was going to blow my fingers up. To which I answered, no. Better not fuck this upMay have neglected to tell the wife I bought reloading supplies and a press.

Thanks @Borderland for being my scapegoat.NO TV WHILE RELOADING!
Two eights and a four.
I have a relative that has a successful business. He makes a lot of money and likes his toys. His wife is a pretty down to earth Norwegian/Danish/American. He bought an old Jaguar that he found for sale on the side of the road. He brought it home and she told him to never buy another vehicle from the side of the road ever again. He sold it because it was unreliable. Then he was cruising thru a used car lot one day and he found a bright red H2 Hummer. At that point in time they could hardly give those things away and he thought it was a great deal. When he parked that in his driveway his wife had a melt down. She told him she didn't care what he did with it as long as he didn't park it in their driveway. He gave it to his daughter and SIL who still drive it. Now he just leases everything. Some things you just need to run by your wife. In my case I know what they are now and the list is pretty short.
