I think that is about it....Gee wiz!! :confused:
 
I doubt that will last very long.
 
HAHA.....you know my wife too @Bruce.... LOL that was the same response she gave me.
 
That's right I am not a quitter!!! What else do I need to buy.... :punch: I will just tell my wife that you guys/gals made me do it.
 
I was waiting for an "APRIL FOOLS!" at the end of your post. . . .
 
Actually I forgot it was April Fool's today.....that would have been a good one...
 
That is already in process so does not count against me when I do order. Flags also!
 
Its bad you guys know me too well. I should have made this post yesterday and said I was done for the month..... :eggonface:
 
My first year with my boat was brutal on the checking account. I've sure you've seen my "list".

This is year two for me and since I spent almost everything last year the wife has put a close eye on me. Things showing up at the door in boxes gets me a big trouble now.
 
I try to spread it out and have this conversation each year.

My wife says: I thought you said we were not going to have to buy that stuff again.
Me: We didn't, it's different things we needed.
Her: Oh... Well is that it?
Me: Well for this year, I guess.
Her: Are we going to have to get anything else next year?
Me: Welll uhhh, maybe ;)
 
Welp that didn't last long, just ordered 2 sets of polk audio mm651 speakers....LOL
