When the wife's away.....

[Mexican Kerry]

I get up to no good. Guns, beer, women. I found an antique (junk) sale at the mall near my house today while stopping for some groceries.

Found this old Hires sign, had to have it. My favorite root beer when I was a kid, can't get it any more.

A shadow box with some neat little cap guns in it, same thing had to have it. I think it'll go well on the mantel, at least until she sees it and puts it in the storage room!

An old lighter with a couple young ladies that look like they might have questionable morals. Add to my collection of old pinup lighters.

I hope these aren't too risque for a family-friendly forum!

My six year old son might have words for you if I sent them! He was with me when I picked them up, and was VERY disappointed that I didn't crack open the shadow box when the man handed it over. He's got dibs for now in case of a change of ownership.

The kid likes the classics!

Seems you had a good time while the Mrs. was away, way to go

 

[Mydogmax]

No fair! Odd though that your handle is my mom's actual name.

Update, she saw it on the mantel when she got home. Its still there! There's hope for guys like me after all.

 

[susieqz]

good for you, ker.
by the way, that's my actual nickname.
daddy always called me susieqz.

Sounds like me when Mom heads out to one of her "trips with the girls" with her Master naturalist friends. I always go out to eat someplace good, and I like to get at least one movie in at normal volume.

Hires is very much still available. We have several stores in the Salt Lake City area and it is available canned.

Not available in Canada from what I've seen. Enjoy one for me!

I can't seem to find cool stuff like that.

Mine isn't much of a collection. Some old, some new. Some cheap, some cheaper than others.

Sometimes ya just gotta do what ya gotta do and suffer the consequences later. At least that's my motto

It's easier to ask forgiveness than to ask for permission.

Well the shadow box with the little pistolas stayed on the mantel, and the Hires sign is hanging next to the patio door.

But I spent my whole day putting nails in walls to hang pictures for the wife. Fair trade.
