House to myself on game day!

[ThunderLund78]

My wife and kids aren't huge fans of venison - at least in its pure form.  So on the rare occasion where they happen to leave me alone on the holiest of sabbaths (Vikes/Packers), I need to take advantage!  So I cooked up some fresh venison backstrap with a blackberry reduction, my favorite rice side dish and a side salad.  Washed it all down with a Summit EPA. GO VKES!

[leechlake]

Thunder- looks awesome.  My wife has been out of town in freaking Mexico and she called yesterday and asked if I cared it she stayed til Tuesday.  My reply, "stay as long as you'd like".  It's very peaceful here and I'm making homemade fries and venison pork burgers for my son's buddies at halftime.  

Now when I go muzzy hunting on Saturday at cabin I can get the favor returned?  Probably not, weird game this marriage is.

sweet! i went and played in the river bottom adjusting cams for ML. sotting here watchig te game and my wife fold clothes, should i help? no! i made breackfast and washed the dishes, her turn!

[ThunderLund78]

I'm a family man - through and through, and I'd do anything for my wife and kids.  But the alternative today was going to Alvin & the Chipmunks Live at the Target Center.  Sometimes a guy just has to put his foot down.  Plus, I take my two boys fishing and hunting all the time; they're due for a little mommy time.

Looks tasty.  Were you able to keep it all down after watching the game?

[Boar]

we new it was gonna happen, vikes were due to lose and Packers were due to win.

[ThunderLund78]

One of the reasons I decided to cook something good.  I knew I was going to need something to look forward to and enjoy today.

[Boar]

Lol! cant win them all, farve aint with them anymore, they had losses then just make the other teams feel good.

[reinhard1]

That sure looks good!!!!  Great meal!!.  Got to give the cheeseheads credit on this game.  They were the better team today but we are tied with them at 7-3 and one of them will be the division champs.  good luck.

I am sharing this in humor.  I've been married long enough and understand mine as much as a guy can.

My wife didn't stay and actually came home on schedule late last night.  Neither the dogs or I budged from our bedroom when she got home last night but I do vaguely remember she gave me a kiss.  I guess one of her friends grabbed her phone and texted me that she was going to stay  as a joke...female comedy.  I ended up changing 3 things around because I was going to be solo dad for a few days, had to arrange a ride for one of my kids and change two appointments.  

This am I explained that the joke was an inconvenience for me and others.    I got the evil eye for that and a short lecture on my stupidity.  She then left the house and got in her car and then came back in.

"Did you or Matt drive my car when I was gone?"  At this point my radar went up.  We don't have some "my car" "your truck" policy at our house but my main concern was that she was going to say she found something in the car that my son left that implicated him in some major mom crime   (like drinking a Red Bull past 8pm on a school night ).

Her two front tire indicator lights were on and she was having a coronary about it.  I futily tried to explain the law of physics and cold air but she told me she was going to the dealership to have it taken care of.  As she walked out the door I couldn't help it and said, "next time the gas tank is low why don't you go to the dealership."  A minute later the door opened and my wallet, which I left in her car, was thrown into the house.   I went out and filled her front tires as she sat in the car...I can't even comment on that.

The Zen like tranquility is gone, my blood pressure is back to medium/high, and I can't wait for Thanksgiving  and then Saturday to kill a deer and hang it in the garage.  I may let this one "age" a bit.

Funny, I was in my Deer stand this weekend and called my wife which I never do in the woods but she was driving to Brainerd to visit her folks. She said, "that stupid tire light came on again, you know like it does when it gets cold"

I said, "honey don't always just assume it's cold weather that turns the light on. did you even take a minute to look at your tires before starting out on a 130 mile drive"

No.

[Boar]

Double L, I think our wives are sisters. Your stupidity??? letting ones freind play joke and leave ya hanging like that, would make me feel im being tested to see what stupid chit i might be doing. oh and ive been thru the exact same senario with the tires and the "man comment" said the same exact statment and go the same reaction. but my wallet was thrown in the house like a frisbee and dislodged all contents and most of them in the dogs water dish. I had 2 weeks of silent treatment, Aaaahhhhhh life was good.

Ha, always kept ready, but when a warning light comes on and I'm sitting in a tree 170 miles away. That changes things! I'm not a Sexest, she has every right to get out and look at her own tires!

I love to tell my wife things like.  Honey go carry some firewood in the shop while I watch the game.  Or Honey go butcher that deer hanging in the shop while I relax.  Or honey drive into town and get me some ice cream.  I just love the look she gives me.  I think it is the "do it yourself BOB look"  and my name isn't Bob.   Then I go carry the firewood or butcher the deer and go without the ice cream.

Being a genius at the age of 28 years old when I proposed to my wife I added a little disclaimer in the proposal.  I told her I loved her and I wanted to marry her and "you know I love hunting and fishing so you have to understand I may be gone from time to time".   She agreed and probably didn't hear that part it seems.  While she does let me do those things it isn't without consquence.  As a matter of fact this morning after almost 19 years of marriage I got my rear chewed for all the time I spend at the cabin.

8 months pregnant she was deer hunting with me.  If I recall that was the last time she has hunted with me and I don't know what changed?  Hmmmm.....

[LindellProStaf]

Just gotta luv em. My wife is still my best friend.  

And she does help me do lots of things.  

 

[bobberineyes]

It is funny how it all works out. My wife's side is all serious hunters, her grandpa at 92 still going to ND chasing fowl. Her and I spent lots of time around the slough, and chasing pheasants.  Don't laugh but I actually purposed at the cabin after a hunt 20 years ago. So when kids came about, someone had to stay home, wow that was close, I picked the right straw...fast forward and this year I got her up on some grouse, we had a blast, she never pulled the trigger but getting her back in action is a step in the right direction. .

And you guys are all making sure that she "accidentally" sees all your replies about her too, right? 

[leech~~]

My wife and I have an understanding. I have Deer opener and hunting season. She has Black Friday and shopping season. I go Ice fishing, she goes after X-Mas shopping, I go snowmobiling, she goes spring deal shopping! I hope she never gets bored of doing the same sport all the time?

[Boar]

Heres my pledge to my wife. I put you and the kids first everyday, all the time. when I ask for time I expect it. not because you alow it.but because I deserve it.  I will take it anyway, unless it upsets the apple cart. I do three things great. Family. bear hunting, icefishing.  oh and you guys put the renewal clause in the marriage lisence right, after the first five years, you can renew or go seperte then 10  but over 20 your dug in. im at 19. close enough. I love my dug out. She used to say, I got you trained I responed whose got who trained. We have a 20 ftV ice castle, 2015 polaris 570 4x4 two motor cycles and two snow cat, and we just sold our summer get away place. weired how the training works huh? Im so good.

I've commented on my wife few times on here and only showed one of them to her.  If I showed them all to her...she wouldn't be my wife.

[Boar]

but you see LL thats the tru test of love.....

[leechlake]

what the heck, seems this has turned into a wife thread so here goes.

I think my wife is cuter at 50 then she was when we got married when she was 31.  However, about 20 years ago I came home from work and she was sitting on the couch and she started crying for no reason.  I asked her what was wrong and she said, "I'm getting old and ugly, when are we getting married!"  We'd date for about 18 months.

Probably the worst sales pitch a woman could give to lure a guy in but I'm easily sold I guess.  I proposed within the month. She's gotten older but not uglier (maybe I will show her this post
