So....what did the wife say?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ya kidding me? I'm chicken. I'll somehow tell her tonight if I get some stuff up for sale today which I'll start in the next few hours.

It wont be easy.. prob do it in text while shes at work. Its a ton of money. Prob close to 2k. Prob wont tell her how much.. just say pay no attention as its reos and I'll pay it off in a week or 2.

It could of been alot worse.. I was supposed to grab that last black wrinkle sl grand, and wanted a hammertone like ive always had in the past but never had a sl hammertone and so on. :/. I already placed 4 orders more then I originally thought.

I will update how it goes over haha.. if ya dont hear from me in a while it didnt go well and read the news! Haha joking.

All done! I survived! She was ticked off and upset and let me have it so bad she called me. Then minutes later she texted that she was sorry!

Ruff.. bad timing but the store was closing! What can ya do. Last chance.

She's a keeper! Lol

Lucky cause she went away 2 weeks ago for a tiny 4 days to California on a work related seminar. First time in 29 years we have been apart.. felt like a month to me! so that woke us up from the fog after having kids for the past 14 years and the flame is burning at both ends! Haha

So if your relationship is in a rut, just go on a short trip apart and I bet it will be like day 1 when you get back!

Now.. wheres my new reos!

Haha.. yeah I didnt say too much so I'll prob still get knocked out if I bring them all out at once!

Though safe in the man cave! She never goes down there. ;)

Edit:.. wow. Yeah it's not blowing over that smooth. She just let me have it again durring her break. Gota make me feel all guilty. Yeah I'll be hearing about this for awhile I bet. Everytime I look at buying something in the future in her presence i bet ill be reminded of those reo orders.

Wife comes home still cranky about the reos and right away rips on my green new reo grand lp with sl matching door!

Show her a couple like the brass 14500.. why would you want a super heavy reo and its tiny? Huh? Show her the brass treated 14500 and no comment.. show her the red brilliant.. oh that's sexy! Yeah, that's why I bought it!

RIP on my Reos! Gona be divorce cause of my Reos collection! Haha.. wait till I show her the veins! That's all shut her up!

She will come around.

I bet the next time we hit the casino she will prob ask me to take the red one. ;) for her.

Was going to Monday but the family had been hit by some dumb cold bug. :/

She dont care (shes not sick).. list it!

She did pay on the credit card bill so nothing to hide now! Still alive.. for the moment hehe

Though I'm sure it's the massive distraction going on atm with our daughter first ever home coming at school this week that's really saved my ..... So we've been busy shopping for that.

Anyone knows where I can get a metal central pin gasket, the one I have broke where is connected to the plastic little hose, the silver one in photo

Sounds like you should attempt an email to eric at reosmods.com and see if he is willing to convert the mod with the newer all ss adjustable 510 connection.

Otherwise.. no idea besides get a new or used reo.

Edit: maybe someone has one they dont need. Hell, I may have one but got too much going on to check at the moment.

Totally not a complaint but just checked my tracking and my Red reo sent in for repair made it back to reosmods on the 4th (last friday) and it's been a week now and I see no package on the mail as I can check on usps.com with informed shipment on the site for my house.

Starting to wonder if Eric noticed it.. or maybe it was sent to the wrong house?

Sigh...my first REO was purchased in 2010, and I've used one ever since. I have been a Mini gal, and went ahead and purchased a new tumbled Mini lp, as well as various repair items that I am unlikely to ever need.

Thanks Eric for carrying on as long as you did.

Forgot to mention that my Red Sexy Reo made it home after the doctors visit! Operation was a success!!

Super busy starting to finally list stuff for sale (pc crap) to mention it yesterday.

Hope I get a chance for that new group pic attempt!
