Kinda like filling in the gaps in the sequence with amphibian DNA. --- Quote from: yotsuya on November 05, 2015, 10:21:49 am ---Now, that one dude a few months ago who said he was doing 6 buttons per person on a 4 player panel because his girlfriend wanted symmetry? GTFO. --- End quote --- :afro: |

"The wife says no" will never cease to be an annoying excuse, but I recognize that it's usually coming from a coward that wants to deflect blame and can't admit he changed his mind or can't really afford it. Both of those are perfectly reasonable excuses, no need to throw a third party under the bus. --- End quote --- Yeah, "the wife says no" seems to be a common CL tactic. Get the wife's approval before you kick the tires, Skippy. It'd be funny if some dude started a thread, only to shut it down because the wife said no once she found out. |

"Spouse approval" comes into play for me to reel in my insanity. I bring a new project idea up and the wife goes "What about the 3 unfinished cabs you have collecting dust?" Give me a dose of motivation and keeps me from turning the basement into a graveyard of unfinished projects and finish things up before opening something new. Beyond that, I am with WP34, My wife has gone out on every pickup, to every auction, spent time in the shop with me and generally helped me with every facet of the hobby at least in some capacity. :cheers: To all the spouses behind every awesome project. |

Here's how I do it: I do tons of crap to make her happy. Which in turn makes me happy. Here's why: The more right I treat her, the happier she is. The happier she is, the better she treats me in return. Reciprocity is key. Sometimes she doesn't agree with purchases, but that's why I use my better judgment in this hobby. I pick and choose my battles carefully. Every now and then I go a little overboard (in the hobby it's feast or famine sometimes with cabinets on CL) but in the end everyone is happy and she thinks it's cool that I'm doing what I love.

Might I recommend some bling you could hang off of Flynn's? You could probably stick LEDs in the 4th one... |
