Status: offline 		So today the parts for my girlfriends kids r/c truck came in today and I told her I was leaving to go pick up his parts we've been waiting all week on. I get home take the parts out to my hanger and get his truck fixed and all that good stuff. After I was finished I made the huge mistake of cleaning up my worktable and putting all my tools and everything were they belong and getting my shop all cleaned up and ready to go. This is where it all went down hill.....

....a few minutes later,my girlfriend walked into the shop(which hardly EVER happens). With a strange look on her face and tone in her voice,she asked me if I was moving out. Without having time to come up with a plan, I said....."nope,just getting ready to build that new Sig Hog Biplane kit I got out in my car that I picked up while at the hobby shop today!" I was trying to wait till she left for her evening plans before taking it out of my car and bringing it inside because she knows dang well I dont need another plane. Oh well,guess you cant hide everything from them.

The moral of the story for all you rookies out there is when you get to the point your trying to hide your addiction from the better half of you......Dont clean your shop! Its a dead give away that your up to something,lol. It really is funny though because you see posts like this http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_7414053/tm.htm that joke about having to hide your planes and stuff,and to most beginners its just funny. But it really does happen sooner or later. And sometimes you get busted!


...oh well,I got a new Sig HOG Bipe kit ! WOO HOOO!

Our household expenses, savings, investments, etc. come first but we each have our own personal budget. We have an agreement not to question each other about what we do with that personal money. She buys shoes & makeup and I buy airplanes and tools. She's only complained about the time I spend. Then I just spend an evening wither, remind her of how annoying I am and she encourages me to go out in the garage and do something.

Had to read that one a couple of times - what a difference a comma makes!

Why lie then?

Some time ago I use to do the same as ChuckW, but my wife is always aware of everything that comes in the house and what goes out. Three years ago I bought a house that I use as a Business place and I took almost all my RC stuff there (My wife was glad for what I did). Now the fight is not about how many planes I have (About 11 and two more in the building process). Now is related on the time that I spend on my office.
There is an addiction at certain point as sometimes you have to hide things (like alcoholics do), maybe we should ask for help.

Status: offline 		Bro, I'm glad you didn't shoot the wife. Gezzz, had to reread that as well.

My wife seldom walks into my shop, but she does check the mail 100% of the time and usually gets to my goodies before I do. She once told me, "another plane?" I replied, "Yes, how many black leather shoes do you have"? Another one that works is,,,,,"you have more than one purse right".

She asks why do you need another plane, they all do the same thing. I reply, why do you need more than one purse or more than one pair of black shoes. That usually puts a quick end to the conversation.

I have been married for a loooooong time.

a women can not see or count anything over ten, if you have 10 rc motors you can bring in as many as you want, they can't see anymore. Its like hiding a tree in the woods.

now for the Next lesson, wensday we went to the big city and she went to the mall and I went to the hobby shop. Boy they had a brand new hanger 9 j3 cub arf put together with a new saito fa.56 and jr radio. $350 out the door. some one had it in there for sale. I bought it.

well I could not take it home "she was with me" , so I told them I would pick it up friday "today". I made up a reason to back to town today. Well she caught me bring it into the house!!!!!!!! DID YOU BUY ANOTHER PLANE she asked???????

no honey I've had this plane I was just asked the hobby shop about it............. There is no lie there, I have had it "two days" and I did ask them about it !!!!!!!!!!

Its all in having the right answer ready..........Ok I get caught once in awhile

He - "Do you really need another pair of shoes?"

I told my wife, "When I was single, I had one airplane and a lot of women. Now I have one woman and a lot of airplanes.

Which way do you want it?"

I have to agree with this after a recent incident.

A new plane arrived at my door. I got it into the garage in the boxes hidden with other stuff in the garage. I then snuck it upstairs to my building room, and unpacked and inspected. Then put the main pieces hidden around the room as to not draw any attention that it was in fact one whole new plane.

A few days later I decided to lay the pieces out on my building table and take a few pictures before I start construction. My wife happened to walk in the room (it's her computer room too) as I was taking the pictures. I thought, oh no...I knew I'd have to answer for where this came from sooner or
