I remember having to stop halfway to the tractor and rest the snow was so deep.. and it was just under the barn's side shelter in the background.

...you have more locations of Tractor Supply Company within a 25 mile radius of your house than shopping malls.

Following Kens pic;

When you are hoping for a LOT of snow just so you can REALLY get seat time on the new machine. (VM hoping for parcipitation /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif)

You know you live in the country when you come home and there is a van parked in the yard (notice I said yard and not driveway /forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif) you don't recognize. I ask the wife "Who's van?" Her response - "I don't know. Some old man and woman. Their transmission went out. It'll go in reverse but won't go forward. I took them home." Almost 30 miles one way. They supposedly used the van to transport Mennonites back and forth to job sites.

I was calm and didn't go off too hard on how dumb and unsafe this was considering it was just her and our 2 kids (3 & 4). At least she had a cell phone. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif I love the fact she is willing to help - but sometimes you have to know when......

Just thought of another


Your wife is more heavely armed than most wannabe milita groups. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Another reason not to fool around, abject fear /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

 

[jwstewar]

Believe it or not we don't own any guns /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif. I've only shot a gun a couple of times and I don't know that she ever has even though her Dad is an avid (understatement of the year /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif) hunter. We've just made the decision right now we don't want or need one. Maybe that'll change later.......

Then I suggest you dont get on the wrong side of my wife /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Never said you had to own one or 12, its you choice to do or not.

My wife was a city girl and was afraid of them. I never pushed her but after I was heading to the range about every other weekend (pre kids, I had time to do fun things) she decided to come along. Took about 2 shots for her to get over the fear, and about 3 weekends till she bought her own handgun. It wasnt a good fit for her so she tried my 1911 45. Put 4 out of 5 in the black at 25 yds and asked if I would give it to her. I said no, buy your own. She traded the other one for a 1911 and has been a shooter since.

Mine either, she has earned a concealed weapons permit and carries her favorite Browning Hi-Power quite nicely.
