Okay so I've been planning on a new toy and so climbed down into my strategic command and control center (back room) and started the long and tedious planning on how to get away with spending another 700 way before I should be.... mmmmmmmmm
I think I might have found a way to actually rig up a thermal viewing system that would work as an actual shooting scope with crosshairs and everything for about $700 and it's really got my mouth a watering I just need to convince my wife that well yah I did say that would be the last Airgun for a while but honey I'm not buying an air gun it's a scope for the air gun well yes your right the scope costs as much as the air gun did.... ........ At which point my wife is going to start up the very EVIL mind freak called women's logic and no man alive has any known protection from.
So instead I think I will implement instead the only known defense do now and ask for forgiveness later.... With of course a little twist.

So first order of budget pre-emtive bribery

What do you think... It should limit my dog house shunt to a living room couch at least.... I hope........they do have a matching set of ear ring ...... maybe I should go back and get them

You Sir are off to a fine start. Might I suggest something that has worked for me in the past? Purchase individual parts over a period of time, and spend slightly more than a reasonable amount of time out in the garage "tinkering" with an "idea".

Ad nauseam, and often, explain to her that you are trying to create a thermal detection device out of "PARTS LYING AROUND IN THE GARAGE". If explained correctly, after around the third word, she will begin to tune you out.

The illusion is enhanced if you are able to show her crappy prototypes made from things like PVC pipe, hose clamps, cardboard, duct tape, toilet paper rolls, and pipe wrenches. Basically any bits and bobs that she most likely won't recognize.

Before you know it, you will be in thermal hunting mode.

LOL, that will work to some extent the only problem is that she has already classed me a red neck / hillbilly and some of my duct tape - hose clamp- pvc pipe- trials ran up more than what it would have cost if I had just went out and bought what I was trying to make..
Of course that Women's Logic weapon was employed at that point and time.... (Darn it we guys need to talk to those folks over in Geneva and get them to add a ban on that as cruel and unusual punishment) and she swore that if she sees me buy a bunch of hose clamps and junk again she was going to get a small one and CLAMP a few things of her own
