Title: I really did a stupid thing today
Post by: YORNOC on January 15, 2012, 06:09:00 PM
Been finishing up skinning and fleshing a bunch of snake skins over the last week for bow limbs. Did the last several today.
Wife took the kids to ski school, so nobody home!
The bathtub is much easier than several 5 gallon buckets in the freezing garage for rinsing the copperheads, thats for sure. But bring raw snakes into the home is a no no at my house. Tough enough to get the okay in the garage.

Ski school cancelled due to super cold.  Guess who gets caught with a tub full of copperheads?

The way my wife feels about snakes.....I'd be in DEEP having them in the garage!

If they were in the bathtub.....I'd be sleeping in the garage....with the snakes!!

Nice! It will keep your wife wondering what you do when she is gone.  It's good for them to wonder at times.

Brings back some fond memories....... once got caught skinning and processing a 5' long Gator tail on the kitchen counter.
Wife never even came in the house, opened the door, smelled it, saw the muscles contract, got back in the car and left.
Didn't speak to me for over a week.

Thanks for the memory..... that was a peaceful week!

In college, spring of 197y, I got caught by the apt. landlord with a bathtub full of live 14-15" largemouth bass. (5-6). I thought they looked cool swimming around. The landlord just shook her head.

If she comes home the next time and there's a woman in the bathtub she'll forget all about the snakes, that should be an easy "out."

Might as well start remodeling the bathroom, cause she's going to OWN you for quite a while.  Plan on being reminded of your indiscretion for the next decade or two!    :biglaugh:

I woulda said,  "Listen here, woman...my house, my bathtub, my snakeskins!   If ya got a problem with it, you can start bathing out front with the garden hose!"

Honestly,  there's worse things to be caught with in the bathtub.  Like a hooker or a 3 legged goat.

Kind of reminds me of the time I got caught by my then "Brand New Wife" while cleaning a muzzleloader in the [ her ] living room.. I saw her, and quickly reacted by pushing the rod down with "bore" full of hot, soapy, water and shot a stream stream of black, very fould smelling, water from the nipple hole clear across the livingroom and all over the new Carpet..  :rolleyes:  

I'm still amazed that we're still married almost 33 years later?  :dunno:

Man that funny but the question still remains.Did you finish the skins?
Title: Re: I really did a stupid thing today
Post by: Jack Shanks on January 16, 2012, 08:58:00 AM
I can't see what the problem would be. Not like you had another woman in your bathtub or did something bad.

Thanks for the chuckle!

If there were any bruises I hope they are gone by now...lol

Thanks again!

If I had a problem, she left!!!!!!!

So no permission or forgiveness is needed.

Working on changing legal status now.

God bless,Mudd

PS: I have to make fun of the situation to lighten things up in my life.

Yournoc, they say it is easier to get forgiveness than permission. Sounds like you struck out on both. By way of consolation, maybe the bows you put the skins on will turn out great. Good luck.

That's funny.  I did a similar thing with one of my wife's pots.  She walked into the shop while I was mixing up some hide glue.  Let's just say I ended up cooking dinner for a few nights.

I figure that as long as my name is listed as being the owner of the home I can do what I want in my home. Single life is great but at times it can get lonely. lol
