Difference between Men and Boys

I second that! Almost all my bikes and airguns were purchased used. My pockets don't run deep enough to buy the new stuff!

There was a store in Missouri I spent a lot of money at. Cash on the barrel head always got you the best prices. For an additional $5 "processing fee" he would give you a receipt from Al's Garage. Saved me a lot of questions when the checkbook got balanced. That damn truck broke down at least five or six times a year.

My wife once asked how many guns do I have. My answer? “How many purses do you have?” Subject has not come up since.

Here’s the difference between men and boys- men don’t give a crap while boys still worry about what everyone else thinks. Just look at the expression on my sons face for having to suit up-

The difference between men and boys is if you have to let out some strained sigh when you stand up from the couch or comfy chair... or have I gone from a man to and old fart...

I suppose I am the exception to your rules.
I married a woman that I trust and adore. I need neither her permission, nor her forgiveness. In turn she does not need mine.
There have been opportunities over the years for either one, or both of us to over spend on hobbies and the like. Neither of us has. Or will.
It is that trust and knowledge that has strengthened our relationship to what it is now.
I hear so many men talk of "asking their wife", if they can go fishing, golfing, hunting, fill in the blank here.
I did not marry my parent; I married my partner.
I spend every day doing my best to spoil her, and she does the same for me.
Granted it has made birthdays and Christmas more difficult, so be it.
I learned a basic truth long ago, "We accept the love, we think we deserve."
I am truly blessed. I just felt compelled to share.
Cheers
Doc. BTW Married 27 years and counting.

I’m with you - two Reise Mullers e-bikes worth every pennyThe price thing also relates to bicycles. I tell people that I still feel like I’m 12 because I still like doing the same things - riding bicycles and shooting BB guns.But in both categories, toys are much nicer now.

My wife was starting to give me crap about getting a new air rifle (Brocock Ghost), I said "You sound like my Ex-Wife." she said "You don't have an Ex-Wife." I said "Keep talking."

All my life my most expensive rifle was a Winchester 30-30. I think I gave around $300. That tells my age a little, ha. I never in my wildest dreams thought I'd be spending 3k on a pellet gun, lol. But, if you consider it is paid for entertainment I can't believe I waited so long to have this much fun. I sure never found this kind of pleasure from the ole 30-30.

My wife tells me that every thing I want is expensive, I tell her, if it’s cheap and I want it, I already have it!

...or a well seasoned man just doesn't show her the new purchase. You know kind of like she does with clothes, shoes and handbags. In my house, everybody gets what they need. Some of us get what we deserve
