It is bad with no known cure besides unemployment. My wife's a shooter as well which is both good and bad. Good because she doesn,t question much. Bad because do you know how much 2 AA 510s cost!
Gotta be careful of the wife they are tricky. A guy on the RC truck forum said his wife came home from work and said an employee wanted to pay 250 bucks for a rock crawler. He should sell him one of his. He laughed and said he could not buy the tires for 250 bucks….. oops
Words have meaning for sure. The best way is to convert the wife into a shooter. Try to get her to shoot some water balloons with one of these BB guns you rebuilt. Who could shoot water balloons and say it wasn't fun?
