Now-a-days the boxes come and no words are spoken
I will end up in hell. All this cover-up cannot go unpunished
I accidentally overcame the Wife Factor
I had an experience today that I wanted to share. I currently have a small system with Zu Omens , Rogue Pre and 60 wpc SS DIY amp. I just acquired a pair of Rogue M-180’s , Hera pre and needed larger speakers. I purchased a pair of Tekton DI’s as I wanted to annoy the neighbors. However I withheld the Tekton purchase from my wife and they arrive Monday. I also want to reset the room from wife designed to a treated listening space with the correct wall location. My wife asked when I was getting a new couch and I told her room setup first . Room treatments next and then maybe a couch but probably 2 recliners. So I suggested to put the Zu system in the den for her and set her own streaming up. She was so delighted, I took that moment to act and said BTW I bought new speakers and they look like this. She asked when I was planning on telling her I said they Arrive Monday , so probably Tuesday. I could see the her thinking and got ready to be criticized. She looked at me and asked , “ can I stream my music and play what I want? She had a big grin and approved of the new Big Ugly boxes that are Industrial Flat Black. So I should have been honest and not a selfish child , but all she wanted was to enjoy her own system. She had never asked , but the big lesson is “ I never Offered “ . I’m typing this realizing what a lucky man I am and I need to be less self centered. So maybe someone else could have this positive experience without being dishonest. Cheers , Mike B.

Ha Ha Gano ! I hear you. To all I’m just trying to reclaim this one room. We have our bedroom , her bedroom , her office , her garage space, her coffee bar. But realistically she was scared of my motorcycles but never restricted me. My bass boat takes up half the garage and my guns and workbench take up space too. Old age reared its ugly head and I recently got rid of my Harley , my hot rod Buell and can’t ride my road bicycle or snow ski. I’ve always enjoyed my modest gear and I just want to have a large system again and a dedicated Man Space. I’m sitting here waiting for Fed Ex and I see that Collective Soul is playing 10 miles away in 2 weeks. It just happens to be my wife’s current favorite band. So double score today , speakers and tickets. I’ve been clean and sober 30 years and old habits die hard and honesty is a tough one. |
well @buellrider97 you are much better at managing your things and relationships than I am. I am playing catchup all the time :) |
