I guess I'm just lucky.
While my wife doesn't always understand or support some of the crazy things I do.
The whole bicycle thing , she does.
Yesterday she found these cabinets at some sale some where and thought of me.
As it turns out. Perfect tool storage for my small bicycle hobby shop.
Thought I'd show them off , and praise my lovely wife for thinking of me...
23 years and going strong.





Down side:
She's so into the bicycle thing , my garage is starting to look like a bicycle wrecking yard.... She keeps dragging old bikes home.
She is one **** of a dickerer though.
Last weeks find was a Huffy cruiser frame , a 20" vintage sting ray ( in rideable but rusty condition ) and a very nice Specialized Hard Rock 19" MTB.
All for $20.......
Don't know where she found them , and it may be bad luck to ask.......

She sounds like good people to me, and a keeper. Congratulations on the 23 years and hope you have many more together.

Neat tool chest too.

Man, oh man............

I've been married for 23 years, going on 24, too. My wife is a good girl in many ways. I've been lucky.

But..............she's completely disinterested in bicycles. She was actually a bit hostile to the bicycle in the early days. (Because, I suspect, she resented the fact that I wanted her to ride) These days she's neutral. But she won't ride.

And she's never, never, never brought home beautiful used bikes or nice tool cabinets.

You're a lucky man.

Capt Z I've probably got clothes older than you! It's nice to see so many guys realize how lucky "we" are.
