The mailman dropped some goodies at the office. It may just make the rest of the day tolerable. Of course, now I have to pull the new tile saw I bought a week ago out of the trunk of my car and do some explaining.

When your pile of rocks & equipment gets big enough, you can just put the new stuff in with them. Wife is none the wiser. Works for me anyway. LOL

Just tell her that it's better than spending your money on hookers and drugs. Of course if you're also spending your money on hookers and drugs, I wouldn't go that route.

I thought better of that approach. I don't want to turn it into an either/or argument. What happens if I stop buying rock equipment? Gotta be the hookers and drugs...

James, Rob's catching on quick for a young guy.  Just think how easy life would have been for you had you used Rob's guinea pig technique out on heirloom dish towels!!!  |

Dish rags, well, that's make up fodder, the other is mandatory long term dog house. China made dish rags Ed, just China mades. Even at that, the dog house got a distinct stare. |
