WD,
Sometimes guys do stupid stuff, all in good fun (for the guy). When I was first married, the misses and I used to clean some model homes. A group of about 5 or 6 houses, built by the developer, of various floor plans and exterior elevations.
Folks interested in buying a home, would go through availability, prices, time frame, lot placements and sizes, with a real estate salesman.
Once a week, we would clean those model homes. Dust, vacuum, wipe down, garbage, toilets. Anyway, I started by going around and unlocking the houses, and the back over to the sales office, to start vacuuming. The misses started the rest, ahead of my vacuuming. This particular time, I decided to play a trick, after unlocking the houses, I started to vacuum, like usual, but when she headed out to the next house, I quietly went out front and waited for her to be inside of the second house, then I quickly went over to the third house, and went into the hall bath, and stood in the tub, with the shower curtain bunched up so that I was not noticeable and waited, and waited. Finally she got to this house and was working her way through, eventually on into the hall bath. When she bent down to clean the toilet, she wa only about 16" from me. I didn't make any noise except for the sound of the shower curtain quickly sliding across, and I just stood there looking right into her eyes. They were very big. Silence for a second, and she screamed, a lot. I didn't do that again. I was in my 20's, thought it would be funny. . . Oooooops

Ah, yes, I am married to one of those type. Once he sneaked in the house and hid under our bed. When I went up there to clean, he grabbed my ankle. Totally understand where your wife was at. There have been many other times also. Now in this new house, we have a solid door that leads to the garage. We have accidentally scared each other there, but I must confess, I have stood there intentionally to scare him and pretended it was an accident. I have a lot of scaring to make up for.
 

Bill, I made potato, bread, and eggs, with leftover smoked sausage and bacon, for our lunch today. The water tip to help the potatoes cook worked excellent. :thumbsup: Another baby step, but I will take it!
 

All of this food stuff I have bought, and here we have run out of ketchup. :BangHead:

Civilized life as we know it is over when there is no ketchup.
Sorry to read of your misfortune.
You'll be remembered.

Have you tried rum as a substitute yet? Or is it past that time and you're too weak....
:laughing7:
 

Modified greatly from a meme elsewhere...
Is it a bad thing if your home made hand sanitizer attempt turns out to be jello shots?
 

With all the hand washing they recommend we're going through loads of liquid soap.

Here's an easy recipe if you want to make your own.

Bart,

Yep glad it came through for you. I remember when talking to Gary Drayton in Toronto last year he mentioned that when he shares his killer finds on videos he doesn't share all the crap he digs up.

After 25 years + of detecting I realize it's ultimately a numbers game. More targets=more keepers. Well done!
 

Ooops...I was supposed to put those pics on the other ship...sorry ARC. Ya bill I got 2 pockets full of junk.
 

Nice Bart congrats! It's great just to get out there and look for goodies!
Oh, and your water temp is warmer than mine!

Thanks Bill, glow I will, and ARC will probably hang me from the bow for extra lighting.

Nice one bart. That's a beauty. :icon_thumright: Have you got a diamond test kit?
 

Our mailman here started wearing those blue gloves back in Nov. They said because of the flu, but I have never seen them wear gloves to deliver the mail before.
Daughter made me spray the circulars before I touched them....getting nuts out here.
Need just the facts.
