    Default need special gps

    that will direct my wife around local garage sales.
    better to send her into a swamp than have her bring home another bookcase and desk.

    please someone invent this.

    Perhaps you'd do better having her drive a Smart car? She'd have problems carrying anything larger than a loaf of bread in one of those.
    be seeing you.

    I have the same problem stevep. Every Saturday I get home from a ride and there's a "new" piece of furniture or knickknack in our place. Tile top tables, pottery, books, prints... one day it was a f-ing coal shovel.

    I thought they were called tag sales in new england?

    Absolutely preaching to the choir.. Because I kinda build things for a living, my wife brings everything, everywhere. 3 barns full. Because I can, she thinks I want to. She went thru a wooden chair phase, we probably have 120 hanging from the rafters. If I fix one more chest of drawers, I may lose it. Bat shit insanity. We have a 1 ton cargo van and a 3/4 ton truck. The worst thing I ever did was teach her to pull a trailer.

    I try to leave them loaded and unusable.

    Just sit it on the curb, tell her you are sending it to TN and I am on my way.. It gets "stolen", and we are both better off. I appreciate your sincere gesture, but, I would just as soon as have the "clap."

    I just built a 20' dual axle trailer, hauls 12,000lbs, if she ever brings it home loaded we are going to be fightin'. But, like I have said she is 6'1" and redheaded. So, I will probably lose that one as well. It's ok , she said I could retire when I was 45. Presumably to work on her projects.

    lead time is somewhere between ERich and never.. So, you should see them sometime after 2021, but probably never. So, as of now, Stand By!
