"She reminded me that I have close to 5grand into this new hobby in less then a year (If she only new) I would be sleeping in the garage. I'm having a hard time explaining what certain things are when she finds them (LOL)"
Kayaker - when I read this, I laughed and laughed especially the part about "trying to explain what certain things are when she finds them."
Quick back story -- When I retired two years ago, everyone asked me what am I going to do with all the free time? I could relate to our statement above so well, b/c I bought my first PCP this past March, after buying a few break barrels prior to that.
"Honey, I thought you told me you had only one gun?" I found two more locked up under the bed, but there is also one in the 4 Seasons room in a locked case, which I thought was your one and only air gun." Also, when I was cleaning the attic last weekend, to my surprise, I found two more which were also locked up. They looked like they were hidden on purpose. " And...., what is this air tank doing in the garage in a cardboard box?" "These cans of lead pellets are everywhere." "You're not shooting squirrels in the back yard are you?"
"How are we supposed to out live our money in retirement, if you keep spending it all on these stupid guns?" "You need to go back to work or get a different hobby!"
So, like Ricky Ricardo used to say on "I love Lucy"......"I had a lot of splainin' to do!"
