So, I am living every mans dream: 2 beautiful daughters and a "Mini-Me" son, a scrappy little beast of a puppy named Ozzy. A modest home with a fish tank, big back yard with BBQs, patio furniture, nice green grass and friendly neighbors. 2 pick up trucks, a fulfilling career and a loving Mother and Father. The beer is cold, the pantry is full and the toilet is flushed....Life is PRETTY DAMN GOOD, .....right? Enter....."THE WIFE": I married this sweet little blonde that is 8 years my younger  , .... how to describe her?....Zesty?...Witty?..."Bouncy", intelligent, thoughtful, hardworking, loving, supportive, chesty, nurturing, caring, yummy? I mean, come on....Happy kids, homemade brownies and sex on tap 24/7? It just doesn't happen, right?I am at a loss as to what to say, I guess you COULD say I married the "Perfect" woman...that is, until last night. After she called off work just to be with me, (she thought I might of had a bad shift) and fed the children a delicious, nutritious dinner AND rolled up the windows on my truck just because it looked like it might rain......She minces onto my den (while I sit on my lazy ass and surf Arfcom), Asks "Can I get you anything?" while spinning the combination on the gun safe, and tells me that if I need her, she will be out in the garage cleaning a few of the pistols  ..........My friends, I have been to the top of the mountain, and I have seen the other side.....Yes, Nirvana is here on earth, just inside my front door. Will I wake and find it only a dream? Will the fabric of space be ripped by the weight of my good fortune? I cannot say, all I know is that it is good....Very good!  "G" |

I think I'm on the way to joining you in your nirvana. Our first significant date started with her surprising me by bringing her ruger 22/45 to my place and asking for help getting it running again. It ended with a full blown gun cleaning session, and break free CLP tinted "hugs". Just a couple weeks ago she wouldn't let me buy her a surprise gift from Tiffanies as we were walking through the mall, and insisted on me getting her a gun instead. Light a fire bud, I'm coming to join 'ya. |

Only married a few years, but have known each other for about 10. I have to grin about the whole firearm intrest spike.....She used to look at my ammo stash an silently raise an eyebrow, repeatedly ask "Why in the world do you need more than 1 AK/AR". Hell, it wasnt that long ago I made a comment in passing that I wished I had a .44 Mag to take with me on a trip to Alaska, her retort was ... "Why do you need a .44, you already have a .45 ....isnt that bigger?" (I think I hurt her feeling due to all of the uncontrolled laughter). It wasnt long after that, she enrolled in a self defence / CCW course, purchased a couple pistols, got a membership on AR-15.com. and is toying with the idea of building a SBR M4... She has been out of control ever since. I know she is enjoying herself, and that is half the fun (for me). Yep, she is a keeper.  |
First round's on me!

I have no idea what possessed him to post this thread, but I tell ya, it made my... at least my month to see him write that! And ladies, HE is the keeper. I mean, who wouldn't want to be spoiled rotten by this hottie?? (holding our oldest girl when she was 2 days old- and the pic is kind of taken funny... but I LOVE his bedroom eyes in this one!)  |
 Ain't no grass in NV, just sand.  BH's a good one, and it appears that you are, too. Kudos to the happy couple.

Normally if there's a baby in the picture I wouldn't notice the man but he's a cutie Bed_Head, high five at taking care of business! w00t! PS Beautiful baby!

 Actually, I DID go out to clean the guns, started field stripping and cleaning them, then hubby joined me... then things went a little south as I got some carb cleaner on the grip of my Sig and discolored it, pushed some patches through the barrel of my gun with the "jig," and then blew little droplets of cleaner all over my white shirt when I used the air compressor to give it all a final blow. No wonder he came out to see if I was doing it right.  Believe me now? 
|
Nope, not without video/picture evidence. Women do not clean guns. They dirty them, they do not disassemble and wash them with stinky dirty chemicals. It's just not done. I don't believe it. I can't believe it. If such a miracle were to happen, my whole world-view would crumble. 
|
Hush, you. I cleaned my AR this weekend, and I KNOW Sig_Ziggy cleans all her own stuff, too. 
|
Better get busy on the world-view crumbling.  I also change spark plugs, oil, air/gas filters, timing/points/minor carb adjustments, and some electrical work on my 70 Mustang. Even installed a front end sway bar. Neener.
|
UH OH..I think your world is starting to crumble... I agree with Bed_Head..I clean my my guns when we go out shooting. I haven't had a chance to since the baby but usually I do..I prefer to do it so I learn how my gun is set up and how it works ..
