Wife Complained about my Toys

Pretty much the first time ever, my wife complained about my toys last night. I am talking about my Snowmobiles and my 4 wheeler. I know this might seem normal for some, but this is the FIRST time ever I can remember in the 6 years we have been married that she has complained about them.

I ended up telling her that if she wanted me to get rid of my toys, I would, no questions asked. I would sell all of them, and buy me a NEW F150 Supercrew. My current truck is a 92 F150 with allot of miles on it, but I keep the old truck so I can afford the toys.

Well it came down to, she told me to keep the toys as they were all (except the 4 wheeler) paid for and she didn't want to be making the big payments to get me a new truck.

She is still waiting me to answer her question of "Why do you need 3 Snowmobiles?" I didn't quite have a good answer for her, other than I need something for the friends to ride. I don't think she bought that one.

You can never have too many spares. If one breaks down, you are good to go.

"Needs New Wife"
no! not really!

Just ask her why she doesn't ride the sleds with you !

Ask her why she has so many shoes?

I tried to get her to ride one. It is like pulling teeth. She said she didn't want to operate one, but she would ride on one. So, I figured to get her with me, I bought a 2-up. Nice little sled, and I really like the long track. It has taken me a week to get her on that sled, and we have trails right out my back yard.

The whole thing that sparked her complaint. Only enough room in the garage for one vehicle for a couple days. I let her park her car in and I parked my truck at the neighbors with the trailer on it, but that didn't seem to make a difference.

Oh, well. Spent a couple hours today re-aranging the garage to fitt all the toys and both vehicle in the garge. I will say, I am running out of room in there.

Oh, and she doesn't have allot of shoes. She is ALMOST the perfect woman for me, she just has her moments.

Then you're a lucky man. My wife will just ask the question once - "what do you need a new compressor for?" and that will be the end of it. She will tell people, "I don't know what the he## he does out therre in the garage. I don't ask anymore". She makes an occasional comment, but no real grief. But she sure is happy when her car gets fixed!
