Title: I have the best wife...
Post by: Dalton Masterson on December 25, 2011, 10:42:04 PM
Hope everyone's Christmas went well, and that Santa brought you what you had asked for.

I got a new Horseshoe Brand Leather Groover, which I had asked about in a previous post. It seems to be very well built and works well the little I got to use it.
I also got some needles and skiver blades, and a nice Osborne 1 3/4" bag punch, so now I dont have to use my 1.5" and then a hair more anymore.... Also a new subscription to the Saddlers Journal, of which mine just expired.
I also got a new Ipod touch from the extended family. My day was very good, and I was in high heaven.

So then tonite, my wife brings down a long box all wrapped up, and hands it to me. (She has this cool habit of sneaking long boxes in unnoticed for Xmas and Birthdays once in awhile). So I open the end, and there is a .30 Cal. hole looking at me with an M1 Garand on the other end. I was flat speechless. I have been wanting one for years, and she has been working on getting me one for the past year. Its beautiful, and appears to be pretty much a matching SA 1955 model if I am reading things right.

No, I will not loan her out......
DM ;D

Thanks all!
KT, Congrats on the big 50! Thats a remarkable feat in this day and age.

Pathfinder, neither one. ;)

Outrider, you bet, and she said you had some input in part of my Xmas. Thank you!

Solus, then, I better not tell the stories of the rest of the "suprises" she has sprung on me... ;)
