Why a shaper couldnt have a better girlfriend.......

Ok so we have a new house with a 1000 sft basement that I am going to put a shaping room in, so i need to double up on a few things so i dont have to lug them back and forth between home and the shop.

My girlfriend has to go near the local depot and I ask her to run in and pick me up one of the ridgid planers we discussed on the other thread. She knows the costs our finances etc.

I know alot of guys whose significant others would have responses like

“do you really need another planer” or something to that extent

My girlfriends reply…

“How many do you want”?

I love this woman… she needs a ring {but first I need a new skil}

Man. . . it’s sweet when she’s talking planers, but she’ll be asking herself the same question when the local boutique gets in some new fancy jeans that cost a couple hundy. Don’t ask me how I know. No, I wouldn’t trade my missus, but don’t be surprised when she treats herself . . .

After you build a couple of boards…

Tell your honey that you love and appreciate her SO MUCH that you set up a trip to - pick one - Hawaii, Fiji, Bali, Costa Rica, Etc. - just to show her how much she means to you. (You have to get the tickets first!)

You get to do R & D on your boards and your relationship at the same time…Fun stuff !!!

Well, it’s usually after she gets the ring and maybe a coulple of kids that the ‘other side’ tends to appear. Yet, I wouldn’t trade my life for anyone elses. There are always trade-offs. My wife has no idea what a planer is let alone how many I have and am considering buying one of those battery planers Paul Jensen mentioned. Mike

Best part is she doesn’t know how many firearms I own…to her one looks like the next…thank God!!!

All my guns have fins on the bottom!

" Well, it’s usually after she gets the ring and maybe a coulple of kids that the ‘other side’ tends to appear." [other side = nagging , trying to stop you surfing and / or spending time with your mates , guilt trips , manipulation , they get fat loud aggro and ugly …and that’s just the tip of the cold cold iceberg]

…so , Mike …

when did you get into martial arts…[before you met your wife ?]

and why ?

because of the ring and two kids ?

[ and …if he hadn’t been "zap’ped , my post would be very harmless compared to what his would have been …

HE is going through all the “other side” crap stuff that I mentioned from his worse half , at the moment…

…and of course , SHE won’t give up HER shopping sprees spending all HIS hard earned cash , to please HIM / do what he asks once in a while …oh no … of course not … double standards , guys …BEWARE !!]

spelt correctly

marital arts

has to do with survival of the sexes

in juxtaposition

not survival in confrontation

though confrontation

is often confused with marital status

the higher form transcends

confrontation and dwells on

juxtaposition.

a better girlfriend ?

is a wife.

thats when you see a girl become a woman.

ever seen a 60 year old girlfriend?

Hard act to maintain.

ever seen a sixty year old wife?

respectable old gal

and she can cook,when she feels like it.

A Good shaper like any seasoned craftsman

extends his skills by working with diffrent medium.

A sculptor shapes in wood and foam and

mebe marble and then mebe stone then ceramix and

then fimo and perhaps bronze and just for the heck of it

try the Psycological thriller material human life>relationships .

the facination of this medium is the zenlike qualities

of constant flux and eternal potential.

if done right the potentials for speed and trim are infinite.

the best wife is a real good friend first.

You may have a good start.

go ahead buy her a planer too.

or mebe she is working in another medium that doesnt need a planer

mebe a sewing machine

or a microscope

or just tell her you are going to go shopping does she want somthing…

…ambrose…

a ring could be a good start

dont be afraid

like an over head wave

once you drop in

you might like it

heck after a while

you might learn to turn

on a bigger wave.

whadda rush…

…ambrose…

stayin’ up late

tappin on the keys

at the blue campfire

stroll down the hall next

take a shower

an stretch out sleep to wait for dawn

shower and a sleep

" ever seen a sixty year old wife?

I have seen an eighty year old wife who has hen-pecked her husband for the last 56 years of marriage . The poor , balls-less guy …she made his life hell , and put their kids off having kids of their own , for LIFE.

(Yep , “the other side” , alright . what a dysfunctional , fucked up world we live in …Well, actually …the world [creation] itself is beautiful * …it’s the so-called "HUMANS’’ in it that have rapidly destroyed it )

… offshore winds and waves tomorrow , hopefully …

the limited sampling wrecks havoc

a greater sample base

is imperative to achieve

accurate results

with good scientific method

opinions can become more and more

precise.

Fear hinders discovery

fortune favors the brave.

there must have been balls involved,if there were kids

mebe he only revealed them on special occasions.

in the life of the ageing female there are moments of pause,

one in particular is called menepause

oft confused but impossible to ignore

then of course there is PMS ahhhh a special time

makes other times all the more special

dont be afraid chip

‘‘its just a shadow youre seeing that he’s chasin’’

…ambrose…

she could have been a startling beauty

of infinite magnetism in her youth

and her demeanor is just a defense

I got a bunch of new shaping tools for my birthday in March ( namely, a new Clark model Hitachi ) from my fiancee. She ordered it from Foam EZ and the guys were telling her " Youre buying him shaping tools for his birthday? If it doesnt work out, please give me a call"

Thats why Im locking it up…

Her she is in action, coming back in from a 4 miler…

check the form!!!

she’s a physical therapy student, so shes got alot of badass ideas and critiques on form and stuff to develope a better, more effective stroke.

sun is shining, paddlings sweet now…

Biz,

Back in the day…

I can remember one of the recruits saying,“gun” during a training day out on the farm.

We spent the day…one hand holding our croutch and the other holding our rifles over our head, YELLING,“This is my weapon …This is my gun…this ones for killing this one is for fun”.

Someday I’ll tell you what happens when someone drops their piece…a round trip to hell would be kinder.

A,

After seeing those pictures, I think you’re in line to be voted “Most Fortunate Man On Swaylock’s '06”.

Love the hat!

Pete

good teeth.marry the girl.

…ambrose…

oh and make her a better board,

it’s the leat you can do

in appreciation,

somthing blue

…you guys have nudist beaches there ?

if so , she’d better practice what her hat says ,

or we will have her up on false advertising charges .

yes we have a nude beach here . And this time of year it has good banks too.

no-one ever surfs it …

ben

[a [in]famous quote from the pro tour in the 1980s …"more guys would stick around to watch the girls heats , if they surfed naked "]

good stuff . . .

Howzit Herb, I remember gooing through the same expierence in Marine Corp boot camp,1 week doing dry fire and 1 week doing live fire. We had to qualify at 250,350 and 500 meters. Once had an Airforce friend tell me they only had to qualify at 25 meters, guess the Airforce doesn’t have any snipers.Aloha,Kokua

if this woman right here

surfs naked, and has several female friends that surfs naked with her too, then i’m moving there right now and gettin some color on my cheeks

Marry her, you idiot!

I did with the only one who’d have me … :slight_smile:

Met her when I was 19 (she was 21) took me 7 years to figure out I couldn’t go wrong. Now been married 11 more, 2 kids, - together more than half my life and I wouldn’t trade this life for any other. And the best part is she knows how to pull up crab pots :slight_smile:
