Accidental RV Psychological Warfare

[jimpappas]

Second (current) wife went up in a Pitts S2C and came down and said "we gotta get one of these!" (THANK YOU GOD!)

THEN we went to Oshkosh and sat in the 7A next my 9A that I was finishing the HS on at the time and she finds out my 9A can't do Acro but the 7 can and makes me sell the 9A and BUY the 7A! (THANK YOU AGAIN GOD!)

By the way, that Pitts ride was on our honeymoon so this ones taken, has no sisters and I'm keeping this one for as long as she'll have me even if she is into those sticker things too.

Hey, maybe we should have a sticker booth at one of the flyins for our women

Remember that old southern saying, if mama ain't happy ain't nobody happy.

I tried this with a PB magazine... I wonder if she will let me get one.

hahahaha

Nora saw a picture of a Pits S1 in Sport Aviation and thought it was cute and wonder if we could get one. Oh baby! Now to finish the -9. Even though it can't do acro, the little wheel is on the right end for her to learn in.

I just read this thread to the Scrape Book Queen of my domain. She said we are "Wrong, very, very wrong."

Just don't get tongue-tied while talking to the wife (like I did once), and accidentally call it "crap" booking.......

I now just use the oldest philosophy in the book: "It is easier to beg for forgiveness, than it is to ask for permission"....well, not all the time, but I do use that philosophy occasionally.

It is still Crack booking because apparently it is so addictive.

I got a good laugh on that one TX. Glad to see I am not the only one having to do this. The thing that gets me in trouble is when the Fedex or UPS guy shows up at the door.

Here is my method of keeping the piece with the wife of 36 years. She sees every penny I spend and she gets to spend an equal amount on the house or whatever she wants. That always benefits me too as in the swimming pool. There is one problem though. I may not live long enough to finish the plane. Anybody know where I can land a third job? Who nees sleep anyway.

[Keep at it guys, you will be having so much fun flying your plane to LOE, or Van's Homecoming, or for those Hundred dollar hamburgers. KEEP ON IT.

We seem to have a common theme happening here. Scrap booking and RVing.
I must admit, I hadn't thought of asking my wife to "scrap" my up comeing -4.(she might take me literaly!) However, I just spent my entire long service leave (8 weeks) renovating our kitchen/dine/lounge area, and helping return a '42 DC3 to the air, and Tiff has gone from "what is a DC3?" to bawling her eyes out as she saw it take of, and offering to do a whole book of scrap on the repair. As a resault, she is fairly keen and suportive of me spending more time on my plane(tail just about finished, wings sitting in shed, under a carefully aplied layer of protective dust) now that the house is done and the DC3 has flown home again. Bit of a bummer that I have to go back to work tomorrow.
Anyway, nice to know I am not the only one out there gritting my teeth as two shopping bags of corner cutters, teddybear shapes "special" paper,and stuff thatI still havent worked out yet, gets displayed on the kitchen table.
Still, she does me the honer of being interested in my new tools that I equaly proudly dump on the table. Ya just gotta luvem.
Cheers
Bill.
