I'm Glad I read this thread, a lot of good insight and pointers. Im a single guy, but the one thing that catches me sneaking in the door with stuff is my mother. My dad past away about 2 years ago, so I live with her, help out around the house, do all the stuff a woman can't do. I love her dearly, but man she hates my hobby. I spend alot on it, but hey, I don't drink, don't smoke, pay my bills every month on time. I need something to do, living in a small town at 40 does not lend itself well to the dating scene. I got to admit admire the guys who have great women in thier lives, nothing is much better, but when i see the guys with women who scream at them all the time never satisfied, that makes me glad I'm single. I know I could never marry a woman like my mom, even though I love her dearly, nothing I do is right, I don't use the right rock salt in the winter, drive to fast, etc. that sucks, but I still really care about her deeply.
You guys who have great wives and allow to enjoy the hobby outstanding!!! For now though I guess i'll keep sliding things in the back door, or keep monitering that shipment
