My wife thinks I talk too much

Hi Gang,
My wife complains that I spend far too much time carving and on this message board. I just realized that I just reached the 1000 post mark so I guess she is probably right. I also manage to do at least a carving a day and also look after my 11 year old grandson full time when my daugher works. I tell her I could be out drinking and chasing women so things could be worse. You know I could be doing that my only problem is remembering what to do if I caught one?

Don't forget writing articles for WCI (and dealing with our technological issues)

My mind remembers what to do

Only problem is my body doesn't

My other half has strange sleeping habbits
She stays up most of the night and sleeps all day
so I get up around 7 or 8 and since I am no longer able to work just sit here alone during the day till she decides to get up. She usually gets up around 3 or 4 in the afternoon.
I spend my day with my legs propped up, either playing around on the PC or cutting on a piece of wood.
Did a lot of fishing during the summer, hence I was away from the computer and did not comment here on the board nor did I get very much carving done either. I did catch a lot of catfish though. Good eating. Did manage to get a few sticks done on the rainy days.

When I go cat fishing, I take something to carve on while I'm waiting for the fish to bite. Maybe that's the reason I don't catch many fish but it sure is nice to sit on a creek bank and whittle.

Hey Colin,

Well, I thank goodness that you like to talk, cause I enjoy your messages, your thinking and your humor. I get that crack every so often too, but mostly She Who Must Be Obeyed just leaves me alone to do my thing.

Drinking and chasing women.....been there, done that, as a youngster. We just celebrated our 32 nd anniversary on Thursday, so those days are a distant memory!

Keep on writing and carving my friend, I think we're better off!

Colin, You don't hear anyone complaining on this site. Always good postings. I get a lot of great, very useful information from this site and like to listen to the kidding around. I think that someones wife must be monitoring the posts, all the comments about not chasing women sounds kind of fishey to me.
