Yesterday I mentioned to SWMBO that Ace Hardware was having a sale this
weekend (one of her favorite places to shop, go figure?). Here in western
Virginia, the Ace Hardware is Rocking R Hardware; locally, the woodworker's
Mecca for shop tools and equipment. Just setting up my shop, and having
spent $3,000 last month for a Unisaw, Powermatic bandsaw and other stuff, I
said, "You know, I could probably spend two to three thousand dollars there
for additional equipment myself," just fishing for a response. To my
surprise, she said, "As long as you don't complain about me buying plants
for my flower gardens." What a great compromise. (Yeah, I know, I'm
spoiled.)

good choices of equipment! :) (I have a Uni and a
Powermatic BS).

It's like a tell mine now, if she only makes shoes, she'd be perfect.
Then she went out and got those moccasins from Tandy.
Keep 'er. I'm keeping mine after 34 years, but I ain't telling her,
yet.
