    Default Man, did I screw up!!!

    But it could have been worse! I'll try to give you the short version...

    I promise, I'll eventually get around to making this about fly fishing.

    Over the years I've made several corner gun racks. Most of them have been made to hold 6 guns. A guy asked me if I could make him one that holds 8 guns. I recalculated all of the dimensions, etc. to make it large enough to hold 8 guns. Finished it the other night. My wife saw me carrying some guns from the back room into the living room. She asked what I was doing. I said I wanted to see what this gun rack looks like with 8 guns in it. She said, "Seriously, you own 8 guns??!!" I sheepishly replied, "Umm, yes."

    Thank goodness she doesn't know how many fly rods I own!

    I have the same problem. The wife said "why do you need 7 fly rods" How do you explain it to them? I told her that WarrenP was having a yard sell, but I don't think she believed me.....LOL

    I told her, "You wouldn't expect someone to own just one golf club, would you?"

    When she asks why you need so many just tell her it's like buying shoes. You'll actually see the light go on!

    I recently talked my wife into buying a 20 gauge shotgun. Now she wants a handgun and a rifle. I think she gets it. Jim
    I'm either going to, coming from or thinking about fishing. Jim
