Hey. swat1; it's just a matter of give and take.
If you are young, you have to start learning the
basics of gifts. It's called trade. Give so she can
reply back.
Just like my wife. I asked for a tutor and she sent for it;
in reply I'm taking her to the Mediterranean cruise.
Just learn to play my little grasshopper.

lol he must be soft to have given in and put it up for sale !!

When i first got into jets, i told my fiance that my bobcat rtf with a supersport was £700 (well i actually told her i had sold my 50cc yak to pay for it for £700). I then told her the Classic Bandit with P120 was £1000.

Unfortunately she is quite bright and knows exactly how much everything costs now, but even better, she just lets me get on with it

Its a decent deal too. Now if only that Falcon was a Rhino! [sm=shades_smile.gif] Yeah, he needs to learn the barter system. The ask forgiveness thing only works if you have already established the in-house rule that once its bought, its bought, she cant "make" you re-sell it!

What I'm about to tell you is top secret... well, very few wives read these right? lol. The secret to getting things you want from your wife is to build up the wife bank. The bank accepts deposits of all sorts. Honey dos, the occasional jewelry, flowers, romantic dinner, short trips etc. Once the bank has enough goodwill, its time to make a withdraw.

Now there are several ways to make a withdraw. You can't just withdraw the whole amount or you risk an overdraft fee. That fee can be substantial btw... anyway, sometimes its best to test the waters before diving in. One way is the bait and switch method. Work up a price for the most expensive jet and gear you can find and show it to her. She will be appalled and strongly voice her concerns over the expense. Then you come back a day later and tell her, "you know, your absolutely correct", I have gone back and cut more than half the expense out of this for another package that is way less expensive. Explain to her that even though the other guys are all using the more expensive setup, you would be happy with this one because it would at least still allow you to be in turbines...etc. etc.

Now the only way this will work is right after you make your withdraw from the bank. Wait to long and those wife funds will become null and void. She will definitely feel sorry for you and agree to the transaction. Moreover, she will feel guilty because you just made a HUGE withdrawal from the wife bank. Perfect timing.

Don't even attempt this if your wife bank funds are low.

There are more methods, but they are way to top secret to post here. These are the ones passed around late at night around a camp fire, some good whiskey and a cigar.

Actually, Jeremy, he can't do that. She knows how much a Corvette costs. He told her that the Viper was just a 1978 Henway with a new paint job.

But Andy, as a old guy I can tell you that women mature and quickly catch on to the bait and switch and feel zero sympathy. An alternative approach that I have found acceptable is to have so many planes that she really can't tell if there is a new one in the pile or not. And always purchase wtih cash as much as possible as it leaves no trail that can be investigated by the female police. Jerry.

Mine, Yours & Ours. She doesn't ask about how I spend mine & I don't ask about hers. We make joint decisions on "Ours". Works great! Just set the rules ahead of time.

Just so Bob can get in his punch line..."What's a Henwey?"

A jet or a wife, I would take the wife but only if she was built as good as the jet! Other then that she has to be out by sundown! That way she would be gone before I got home in the Viper with the new girl friend! Hope the new lady does not mind the smell of burnt kerosene in the morning! We would go flying right after she served me breakfast in bed!



Want to keep from crashing? stay at least 10ft from ground even on your take offs and landings!
