D'you think you know fear?

[Mountain Bug]

You don't know fear....

Believe me......I know fear. Just today my wife uttered the four words that men fear most. "We need to talk!" I would rather trade for doing your job using a spring compressor made of zip ties and bread clips

"We need to talk!"

Fear?
Scott,what about when you are off the South Coast of Australia suspended in a shark cage with a couple of white pointers circling and the chummers are pouring the tuna blood in by gallons and the cage rope snaps in 50' of water and you have air for 15 minutes,oh and your black wetsuit makes you look like a seal as you frantically hit out for the surface.
The wife comes second ha ha.

I'd take my chances with the sharks! At least they don't want to talk about their feeelings.

Had one of these ping off a 7 series rear spring years ago whilst under full compression. Straight on the forehead still standing, definitely not conscious and a trip to A+E later...

At least they don't want to talk about their feelings.

I have an idea that great whites have no feelings lol.

I like at least three clamps and camp mole grips to the side to resist slippage.
A good vice helps and wrapping an old heavy coat around too.

 

[Plummer]

Changing a tyre on a split rim is far more fearful, at least there you have clamps, and most likely a nylon strap.. and can determine your own Destiny by the amount of tension applied to the adjusting nuts!

Fu£k that! That’s what garage people are for!

Hi.
Or be a coward and get the ready assembled strut/spring from KYB like i did.

Three clamps ????? . How the xxxx did I never think of three clamps ??????.
I was too busy being scared shirtless, to stand back and see the obvious .
God I'm a knobber.

Digressing again,have a look at the size of the bite marks in the carcase.

I empathise! Had that yesterday after she’d had a sleepless night and the number of stalking/shooting jackets in the downstairs loo was the source of her displeasure Apparently, I have too many - I mean surely 2 Goretex shells (Kuiu with trousers and Sitka), 2 Kuiu down jackets (one Verde the other Ash for Work), a Harkila Goretex heavyweight boar jacket, a Harkila hybrid jacket (office and posh shooting wear) a Musto synethic jacket and a Musto shell (now stolen by my youngest) cannot be too many

THEY (all encompassing wives) just have no idea do they.No wonder blokes keep them in the dark so often.
Do they really need to know about the new boots/jacket/camo/rifle/knives/pack,whiskey or porn mag subscription?

I’ll see your ‘we need to talk’ and raise you ‘I was just thinking about rearranging/remodelling/extending x’

There is no way that conversation can possibly end well.

Just had a recount - missed a Kuiu Axis Hybrid jacket, a large bagged Sitka down jacket, a Nomad gilet and a Ridgeline smock

Maybe she has a point

Where’s Zebedee when you need him?

Whatever you do, don't give in to it. Fake an illness or something but don't give in. I had that same conversation about our little old deck outside the back door

And this is our "we need to do something" upgrade.


How do you like "The New Deck"

[bowji john]

I built our house

When I started I was sane but couldn’t knock two bits of wood together with a nail

Still can’t knock two bits of wood together

Sanity?

What’s that ?

Never in a million years would I do that again

I got away very lightly this weekend.

Just had to dig holes to plant apple trees.

Though it turns out our plot is built on top of compacted builders rubble, then clay, then mine waste. So I now have many blisters.

My wife asked me to explain the invoice for a new rifle

It was lying on my desk
