Things you should tell your wife

[whammy]

Hi folks. January 29th my wife tells me we have to go to a party about 50 miles from home. I complain, but agree. We get to the 50 mile mark and pull into a Wendys. She hands me a piece of paper and tells me to program the gps. It was for Myrtle Beach in South Carolina. A day later we pull into a private RV park about a mile from Myrtle Beach to visit my buddie whom I've known for 65 years. The 30th was my 70th big one and 5 days later my buddie hits his 70th. My wife says why don't you get your detector, which she had packed, and hit the beach. I ran to the car, grabbed the tector, and said thats funny, it feels light. I checked and the battery pack wasn't there. I FORGOT TO LET MY WIFE KNOW I REMOVED IT. Don't do this. The park was an old rice plantation and still had the house and grounds. A word with the ranger and I was told to " detect till to you can't walk any more ". Guess I'll visit my buddie for our 71th.

Oh, that is so painful. I'm sure your wife felt pretty bad too. Any chance there is a detector rental place nearby?

Hope your buddy has a back up detector!

You know, I really don't get why people remove batteries from their MD (other than to charge them as I would guess is required). Batteries these days have shelf life of 10 years be that in the pack or in the battery pack! They are not going to leak in 6 of 10 months non use.
Sorry for your lost hunting time and happy birthday!

My wife sat down on the couch next to me as I was flipping the channels. She asked, 'What's on TV?' I said, 'Dust.' Then the fight started

Heart breaking!

A lot of the enjoyment from a trip like that is in the preparation, and the planning.....looking forward to it. I have never understood what is so great about a surprise.

Only an idiot would take that chance !!!!

Really? I am an Idiot??
Do you take the batteries out of your TV, BRP, CD, Set Top Box remotes when you put them in the drawer till you need them next? How about your smoke detector.. Do you take that one out to be safe What about your cordless phone, digital camera, digital clock, transistor radio, flash lights...
I guess I am an idiot, I only need one set of batteries of any size and only install them when they are needed!!

Wish we would have all been there. A little duct tape, some southern engineering and that sucker would have fired right up. Probably would have looked like crap, but woulda worked great. Or not...

Not at my house. That would be the point where I unplug the TV and hand the spouse a dust cloth.

Oh man, I would never get away with a comment like that.

My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary. She said, 'I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 200 in about 3 seconds.' I bought her a scale.

And then the fight started..
