[R-390] Wives and Boatanchors

[WF2U]

My XYL is understanding: I explained to her that I've been a ham and owned
radios  longer than I've known her.
I also encouraged her to collect certain pottery patterns she likes. The
agreement is I don't ask why she needs another plate or pitcher for her
collection as long as she doesn't ask why I need another radio for my
collection. I even go with her to antique shops and markets - as long as
it's not on hamfest days...
She told me that she'd like to park her car in the garage, which of course
is where my radios live. I agreed, so we agreed on a budget to build a 24x24
shack so I can vacate the 24x24 garage.
As to spending time outside the house, in the shack - she agrees it's much
closer than the closest pub... (and much more convenient for her to summon
me from there for "honeydo's").
Marital harmony reigns!

My first wife said, "either me or the radios".
My radios are "grandfathered in" on the second wife, but she said "Please,
no more wires!"
Its hard to make an aerial look like a tree, but it can be done.
