I assure you she’s very real. In fact, we’re having our 29th wedding anniversary in April.

Well, congratulations to you both ahead of the big day! My wife and I are coming up on our 47th in May.

But, we were quite young. As opposed to now ...

My ex-wife and I only made it to the 9th Anniversary.
That was about 4 years too long. Lol.
I got a watch for my wife and it was the best trade I have ever made.

I relieved my closest HL (in Batavia, IL) of the last Citation Patriot, the last Multi-Roc, and the last Goblin. I also snagged a $3.19 Yankee--only because I'd never built one.

Ironically the total was $21.12 which gave me quite a..........

My nearest H-L still hasn't even flagged anything as discontinued. They had a Multi-Roc, but no Citation Patriot or Goblin in stock when I was there yesterday.

Since yesterday was Ash Wednesday, I had to think of a meatless dinner that didn't involve tofu. We have a Culver's WAY out in the hinterlands, which is where one of my Hobby Lobby stores is located, so I made yesterday a two-fer. Stopped into HL and picked up another Patriot and a bulk pack of Vikings. Total was under $20. Then onto Culver's for a shrimp dinner, which they do very well. Traffic patterns would keep me from ever moving to the hinterlands. Too many hinters. Too many bass-ackward intersections.
