[R-390] Wives and Boatanchors

[Veenstra, Lester]

Actually, I took over the entire basement, which included the nominal
quest quarters. In response she had a new wing put on the house with
quest quarters and home office.   Now the problem is I have filled the
basement.  Horror of horrors, I now have to carry some of this heavy
valuable "stuff" upstairs and out to the FestMobile for resale, so I can
buy more BAs and refill the basement.  I think I need counseling!

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. ..Steve...KJ8L
