She smiled and put her hand behind her back ------ and I said, "Whats that !" She said its for you !!!" and pitched it to me.

It was a 4x2 inch little gift box and I said, "oh you didnt Did you" and she said " I sure did"!'

I said--- "WTF-- (of course there was not Wait till Friday then lol) -- I said "You bought me a dirt Bike?!!!"

She said "I sure did!" ------- I ran out side and started opening the box and she followed me to the door. We lived in an apartment.

Then I got to the parking lot I got the box open and WTF there was a Matchbox Dirt Bike in my hand. I turn to her and she was laughing loud with tears and said, thats the only bike you'll get while we're married.

I divorced her the next day------------

Not really LOL

We've been married 32yrs now and the closest I have gotten to the dirt bike was a ATV for the deer lease
You gotta give her credit.......that was pretty good!

most peoples AWOL bags and Bug out back concepts are so crap.
useless stuff that takes up weight. "hey check out this awesome product you should put in your bag that somebody paid me to advertise for them which weighs to much and is a piece of crap."

The pre made bags you can buy are even more funny.

I'll probably make some video's on this stuff for my channel, only a very few people apply the concepts I follow when it comes to gear.


Doomsday preppers are really funny, its a fun show to watch too. See all the money people spend on food and all sorts of items they cannot take with them. I get a big kick out of it.

You'll have to give us a link to your channel. I'd be interested to see your take on it. I enjoy reading or listening to those types.

When I get there.

No use filling my channel up with me rambling about things, it doesn't give much content right now. Trying to get some stuff to get people to come first.

They spliced a plug into the main coming in and just duct taped it up, didn't even use caps or a box.

Fixed that too.

It's old style wiring, so I just re-wired it the same way because there was no breaker box.

My house was built in 1951 and when we remodeledmy house was wired that way. That's just the way they did back in the day.

My parent's house is a real doozy...

Built in the 40's as a one-story with no foundation. Literally floated away during a big flood in the 60's. Brought back and put on a foundation, then had a 2nd story added to it. The house was built by at least 3 different people at different times, so nothing is level, nothing lines up right...

Evan I know what you mean. I think they built my house with a stanley prototype square that was far from square cause no room or window was square. It was a PITA to put the crown up
