Title: In OK city OK? Save this tron!
Post by: crashwg on April 04, 2007, 06:59:13 pm: Looks to be fairly restorable. If it were within 100 miles or so of me I'd be all over it.

I need a TRON machine for a project, but it's not doable at the moment. I can even get to OKC in about 5 hours...

Damn it.

But I'll keep working on her.

How long have you been married? You ALWAYS buy it and get it home, then spring it on her.

I have found that being up front about cabinets works pretty well. Maybe that is because my wife is awesome. It is the parts that you sneak in. ;)

Exactly!

and I just passed the 16 year anniversary a bit ago.

Sometimes I do go by the rule of: It's easier to ask forgiveness than permission.
But this would have required me to take a 6 hour road trip. 3 there, 3 back.
She might have noticed I was gone.

...Unless I did it during work hours....damn. Didn't think of that.

Another reason this isn't a good idea is because I am afraid what she might spring on me one day. ;) ;D
Bet you never thought of that huh?
