That's about as good as you can ask of anyone, IMO.

I dont have to worry about explaining the cost of a rig either. She likes her D&G and Versace.
"A night sky full of cries. Hearts filled with lies. The contract: is it worth the price?"
She HATES HAM RADIO even more than ever now! But it keeps her Husband out of bars and Crack houses!
I had her follow me around the swapmeet abit Friday morning. Every time I stopped to just LOOK at something, she quickly told me I DIDN'T NEED IT!!! She soon saw her anger and pleadings did no good and stuff start to be added to the cart. She stormed off when I put the Heathkit SB-230 in the cart and paid the seller $200 for it. Just tested that today and NO, it doesn't WORK! So she refused to go out to the swapmeet on Sat and just sat in the booth while I toured out there. My tour didn't last for long as I knew the longer she sat, the MADDER she would get. So I came back to the booth with an EMPTY CART. But the damage was already done and the trunk was already full of THINGS THAT DON'T WORK.
She just HATES Swapmeets. FURIOUS about them!!! We are TOO POOR to eat anywhere but McDonalds, yet I will spend HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS ON ABSOLUTE JUNK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But she kept her silence on the way home from Dayton and wasn't too crabby. She was MOST ANXIOUS to get home and get this MISERABLE EXPERIENCE OVER WITH!!!! Dayton was NO VACATION for her!
So, needless to say, she won't be coming along next year. She has had QUITE ENOUGH of Dayton!
She will stay home with the Cats!

Maybe next year you should take the cats instead.

Atleast If I took the CATS, I could get a little PU.......(Can I say that on the Island?}
Plutonium? Nuke powered Heath amp?
Tell her the next hamvention in is the Virgin Islands and you get free Mai Tais and a massage by a very well maintained guy named Raul...then simply take her back to Dayton and say "Sorry honey, i dont know what happened, but im going to get to the bottom of this!! ....right after i go visit the Yaesu booth...you want a soda or something?"
That should hold her for a few until she can find a blunt object.
The louder the monkey, the smaller its balls.
Ummm...mine went to the Hilberling booth on Saturday morning, talked specs with the guy and was willing to buy two! :shock:
He said they had sold a couple by the time we talked to him. But a week later we get this:

Of course, I was after an FT-980. Think there was one to be had? Nooooo...but after I spent my wad there's a complete setup listed on QTH.

If only I could convince my wife to make trips to Dayton every 3 - 5 years. She isn't a fan of the hobby I enjoy. I do have friends there as well that aren't hams, but a good excuse to go and see them on "vacation".
