That is to a long lasting marriage , after pulling all my gear together and giving it the once over before I load it up for some ice fishing. Guess who walks in with a calculator. cabelas magazine and her cell linked up to the fishing price guide.......THE WIFE. She started asking how much the vex cost, the power auger, the shanty , the 10 ice poles, cold weather suit, all the tackle , I was screwed from head to toe, I couldn't lie my way out of that mess for crap. SO what do you do, dinner out didn't work, cleaned the house aint helping, 10 toes up/ ten toes down flopped , money, she has her own.......So I invited her to a day on the ice, best suggestion I could think of and it worked, zero degrees out , 10 mph wind and she had no cold weather gear , she loved the shanty , heater and all the other accommadations we had .....now the ability to leave home without her the next time might be tough
