My wife of 43 years has started nagging me lately. We have been
finishing our new house for the past year or so and I have had some
problems with my old Ryobi 12-1/4" surface planer. Tore it down a
couple of times to replace a sprocket, and to glue the gearbox flange
back together with JB Weld. However, work has slowed down lately and
it has been doing fine during the past few months.
Received the Grizzly Spring Sale catalog yesterday and they have the
G0453 15" surface planer on sale for $925. She is bound and
determined we need to drive over to Springfield and get one. Also,
having had to sweep the garage many times lately, she is also thinking
we need to also pick up one of their 2hp dust collectors.
Damn. What I have to put up with these days!!!!

Last January I showed my wife (39 years next month) a WoodCraft ad for
the 18" Rikon band saw, on sale for $995. She told me to buy it.
Stupid me, "Nah, no place for it yet. I would just sit in its box in
the garage.". Some day soon... OTOH, she wants a Mustang
convertible. Maybe there is a connection. ;-)

Got the same sale flier, and reading it sort of half out loud (and in
particular mentioning the upcoming tent sale) prompted my wife to point out
it was a two-day drive so we'd have to start planning it pretty soon. I
wasn't even *serious*--but if that's what she wants to do....

It works out a little better for us. Springfield is about a 2 to
2-1/2 hour drive. If you have never been there the Griz showroom is
the ultimate boy's candy store.

Yes she is. I definitely got the better deal out of this
relationship.

Obviously she doesn't need any more planing. Just apply some polish and rub
with the grain.

I had been complaining about my old table saw for awhile... One day I guess
I complained a little too much.
"When are you going to stop beetching about that table saw and get a new
one?"
"Today, Dear"
Do you consider all loose women tools?

Just for comparison:
I just cashed in 3 weeks of vacation to pay for my wife's trip to
Ireland later this month. She's of Irish descent, and deserves the
trip.
But FUCK!
I need support here, guys. Send me tools.

Sounds like my wife 3 years ago: "I'm not going to ride in that old
truck. You need a new one."
Old truck was an 18 year old Nissan pickup.
The correct response was "Yes, dear."
