Hello Gentlemen

 

I just got back from my honeymoon in Milan and I am glad to be back.

I have never been married before so I am on new grounds. Hope you all

actually, i have repeatedly - she doesn't approve of shooting 'lil animals'

 

i am a meat hunter, nothing more - i just enjoy being out there.

 

we have plans to take cameras out in the offseason so she can take a shot of her own!!

 

thanks

Mazal Tov!  SVD666

Welcome to the club, johnbravado and SVD666.

I got married a couple of years ago, and I have to say that I now spend about one quarter of the time I used to on my hobbies.  She drives me nuts occasionally.  My optics spending budget is WAAAAY down.  My house chores are WAAAAY up.  And when I do something stupid (which happens with alarming regularity):

But, to be honest with you gentlemen, it is all worth it.

Thank you all so very much. I know things are going to change but I feel they will be for the better and it will be well worth it. I got some very good tips for dealing with a wife and I am going to take it day by day. I use to have endless

freedom to do as I please but I am willing to comprimise(not my optics) now that we are both one.

Ounce again thank you all very much, Gentlemen and fine Lady you are the best.

Somehow I do not see you complaining too much about it.  Lots of whining, yes, but not complaining.  Maybe it is not so bad after all, heh?

I am curently in this stage of my marriage:


However, this is a bit closer to me about to tell my wife I bought another scope:


This is immediately after a get a swift kick in the ass after confessing that I wasted another few hundred bucks on optics:



And this does not fit the story line, but is too good not to post:

Well done, my friend!!

Outstanding job of illustrating our plight, I mean our situation.

 

No, "The Warden" is a rare jewel of a woman and I'm very happy she puts up with my crap.

 

I can't quit laughing at the the second pic of the kitten.

The "look".

LOL.........Gosh that's funny!!

Congrats SVD666,
I've Been married for almost twenty years now. My Wife is a trooper, the week after we were married i hauled her across country left her by herself and said See ya in a month. 2 West Pac's and the Persian excursion later, we came home to Alabama. I'll give you my best advice for when you screw up, Oh, and you will.  You may not try too, but you will.  This and diamonds works every time!!!


THE EPITOME OF SORRY!!!!
