So True. Or, get her something to so out of the house 2 nights a week in off season, oh I dunno, Stitch-n-Bitch, Karate, 18th Century Poets Female Reading Club or something.

Yeh, we would need a blitz of 40s top pull this off. I think there were a few but might not be enough.

Big Props to Redlite for putting a lot of us on his back

All of Team Franklin was a$$ kicking this year

Four hours left of the Cup

Although the marriage puts a small crimp in the fishing...its when the kids arrive that throws the monkey wrench into it

Wifeys are usually pretty understanding....until you head out the door whistling a happy tune while she's stuck at home tending to Diaper Duty and the 4 am feeding.

The way we worked it in my house was she gives me 6 months (May through October) and I give her 6 months.....Once November 1 arrives I pack it up till next year. Works pretty well, she doesn't say boo to me when I go during my 6 months.....then again too my kids are older now

The secret is how I managed to convince her that Smelt fishing, Ice Fishing and Trout season don't count

Stich-n-Bitch ....thats a classic
