[GreenKeys] I get to unwrap my machines tonight!

[Rokumon Cat]

My wife actually encourages my strange hobbies. She knows that most guys my age (including her brothers) start to have mid life crisis then go and by little red sports cars, Harleys or they get a girl on the side. I am not interested in any of those things, just old comms technologies. She is very supportive of me and my interests, but then I support her culinary endevors to the max, and have no problems with a kitchen that is bigger than most double car garages, a regular range as well as a professional range, a fridge with the compressor and condenser located in the utility room next to the washer and dryer, and the twentyfive crockpots in their own closet (that all get used regularly for huge non-formal events). Of course, the side benefit of all of that is that I eat very well... (moving a M-28 ASR takes lots of energy!)
 
Best,
 
Joe

IT MUST BE WONDERFUL TO HAVE A WIFE THAT IS HAPPY WITH HER HUSBAND WORKING AND ENJOYING HIS MACHINES!
MY XYL WILL NOT BE HAPPY UNTIL ALL OF THE MACHINES ARE GONE ALONG WITH ALL OF MY BOOKS AND COMPUTERS.
I GUESS SHE WANTS TO HAVE US SIT AND LOOK AT EACH OTHER UNTIL WE DEPART THIS LIFE...

GRRRRR

(They are still located in my wife's office, though they will be soon moved to their new permanent home that is currently occupied by an un-used pool table.)
