Popular Post LimpNoodle Posted July 12, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 I've been having some pretty bad back problems the past month or so. It's really made it hard to get things done. The other day I was out in the garage doing some casting. My wife came out to check on me and noticed I only had two bricks of lead left sitting on the floor. She told me I needed more lead. I agreed and told her when I was feeling up to I'd head to the scrap yard and get some. This morning I was really hurting and was just about ready to go out to the garage and paint some lures she said "let me get ready and we'll go pick up some lead for ya". Well she got ready and we headed to the scrap yard. We pulled 134 lbs out of the barrel. There was one huge piece that must have been a weight on some sort of equipment as it two holes through it for mounting. She pulled it all out of the barrel. Loaded it in the car, unloaded it at home, helped me set up the melting equipment and helped me get it all melted down. Then when it had cooled she helped me move it all into the garage and get it stacked. She takes pretty good care of my broken body. I didn't get anything painted but I've got lead for a month or so. This hobby helps me with the pain. I've got a really good chair in the garage and a bench I built. I can go out there and do things and it helps keep my mind off the chronic pain I deal with. She also told me to go ahead and order the wire I need to keep casting slabs. Couple of months ago she got me a new airbrush. Monday we went to Hobby Lobby and we found they had marked a bunch of Createx Wicked paint down 50%. She let me load the basket. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayburnGuy Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Sorry to hear about your back problems. I have to deal with it as well. Some days it's all I can do to carry the dog outside and then get back in the house so I know where your coming from. Sounds like you've got a great partner though. Not a lot of women will do the things you've described. You definitely need to carry that lady out to a nice restaurant. Ben 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadman Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Definitely a keeper. I too have back problems. I have to cut down on tournament time to a 6 hour tournament, because my back can't take all the standing. I am sure it will only get worse as I age. Oh well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SW Lures Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 (edited) I know I'm late with this, but you need to lock her up. Seems that you got a great one there. I believe that I'm lucky to, mine encouraged me in painting, then jig, spinner making and now hard bait carving. I spend a lot of spare time in the shop, but she will come out to check on me, bring a sandwich. Great thing is she is a fishing women to. Got to love it. I hope your condition gets tolerable. They all need a recognition for putting up with us. Take care, Dale Edited August 7, 2016 by DaleSW 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
