Stay at home date night ideas????


Recommended Posts

My wife (I love her with all my heart) isn't much of a romantic. She has a typical type "A" personality. All business, straight to the point, workaholic...with a "get'er done" attitude!

I was thinking about some of the ideas above and what would happen at my house if I were to try them. Example: If I had a bubble bath all ready for her and a glass of wine (she's not a big wine drinker, so it would have to be a frosty glass of ice cold beer), the candles lit, the kids gone for the evening, some nice music playing in the background, lights dimmed down and supper almost ready (which I usually do anyway because of our work schedule),.....she would walk in the house, look around, then look at me with a sly look, then bust out laughing because she would know I was trying to "butter her up" for something I want to go buy, or do, which, would most likely be true! Or else, she would say "alright, what did you do now!" thinking that I had done someting wrong and I wanted to fess-up about it! -BIG MOOD KILLER!-

It would be a lot like the beer commercial on tv where the guy comes home to the candles and notes that he follows to the frig and finds a case of ice cold beer. Only in my case the roles are reversed!

Reality!

Oh well! It started off as a nice thought! crazy

Well, I agree that some times it's the way we have "trained" them over the years not to trust us! Some time if you can get yourself too. sick

You should watch the "wife swap" show. It really highlights what Hubbies and wifes think they know about each other and what they really find out once another woman shows up! wink Yep, manscape! shocked

    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
    • The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
    • It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
    • We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity. 
    • I've been out on the flats. It's like being on a different planet
