My wife's birthday present
My wife's birthday was St. Patrick's day and she got the usual flowers from me and ammuition from her friends, but on the way home this morning I stopped at our local Fleet Farm and picked up some tannerite for her. She's been bugging me for a while to get some but I never had any interest in it since I played with enough explosives in the Corps. When I got home I told her I had the rest of her present and gave it to her. The reaction I got was what you'd expect for a 5 kt diamond. Excitement is an understatement . Her theory on presents from me is for something gun related. I got her a diamond necklace before we were married and after it was misplaced she always comments on how the necklace is gone but she knows where all of her guns are. I married a winner. By the way, she reloads too!

Re: My wife's birthday present
It is truely a miracle to find someone with interests being the same. I have tried to many times to change people and failed. Now I wait and will see what I will find at the range or in the woods. Got to be more good ol country women out there still. LoL Congrats I wish you two many more years of happiness.

I sure got lucky with this one! Everyone thought I was going for young arm candy the second time around, but I got someone to shoot, hunt and fish with. She can set downriggers better than any guy I've had out salmon fishing. The stunning good looks are a bonus.

Yes I think you did quite well!
No such thing as bad weather in Alaska, just lousy clothing choices!

Thanks RD and Arktikos, she shoots like the dickens too. Even with all that has happened in the last 2(spinal chord injury) years I still feel blessed. Her support is what keeps me going.
