5guyshunting Report post Posted June 21, 2015 I have had 10X50 swarovskis for maybe 8 years. Since everyone is selling the 15 x56, I decided to grab a pair. The wife will never know. Today I bought a cheaper tri-pod for my 13 year old son to put the 10s on. We had them set up and every thing was great , until the wife said, why do you need 2 tripods. Uh "o". She knows I have an outdoorsman tripod. The binocs looked close to the same, but I missed out on one episode of Perry Mason. And I didnt think the tripod was a factor. I guess she knows if you have an 8 hund$ tripod u dont need another. Its all good, fathers day is tomorrow. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All of us who have been married for more than 5 minutes have seen this scenario play out many times, yet we never learn. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And +1 on asking for forgiveness instead of permission Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MULEPACKHUNTER Report post Posted June 21, 2015 -10 on asking forgiveness. I don't even buy socks without letting the wife know. Can't run a good buisiness without transparency. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

azshtr Report post Posted June 21, 2015 I have a feeling I may not get all her details either. She doesn't look in the gun safe and I don't look in the foot locker at the beds end. ( I have peaked and the purse collection is doing just fine ). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildwoody Report post Posted June 21, 2015 Amen! marriage is a partnership not an ownership, and binos are a little different then getting caught with your pants down!!! I got it easy with a couple brain surgeries for my eyes, and don't spend at the bar, she knows I need the expensive stuff, Zeiss, sawor's. So I get it. If it was a business she Would let me go for the overhead. forgiveness !!!!! Good dayi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed67 Report post Posted June 21, 2015 Several years ago I had a Swarovski hookup and had just purchased my first pair of 10-42s using a small work bonus. That year my wife drew her first rifle bull tag and a friend of mine was out helping us. We were glassing Horse Knoll when my buddy starts asking about how to get the sweet deal while my wife is looking through my glasses. She didn't take her eyes off the glasses and said "I thought these work a lot better". She didn't get mad. Busted. We've all done it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
