Wayne,
I am not allowed to use that "reason" until 2004. I used that when I said I needed to get my truck/topper, needed to get the riding lawnmower, needed to get the four stroke motor, needed to get the new field box, needed to get the computer radio a couple years ago, and needed to have three planes currently hanging up in the garage. Throw in all the "needed to run to the hobby shop for something" (25 miles each way), and you can see where that reason doesnt hold water anymore. Besides, she says that the only thing I should ever need is her , and when I say that I wholeheartedly agree with her, and how I have to force myself to go to the field so I can experience the pain of not having her near me to fully appreciate the sheer joy of living my life with her, I get this neat little eye roll, and are subsiquently asked, "What do you want to buy now?" LOLOLOLOL Actually, shes really good about the hobby, because I dont take it to the extremes, and it keeps me somewhere productive. somewhere I can actually bring our daughter to for some bonding time.
