dkopp 1 #1 Posted January 17, 2011 If things are just not going your way, take a step back and ponder... Confucius say...Wheel Horse great machine, but make lousy lover. Excerpt from the Wheel Horse Troubleshooting Manual for the Married Man.... Trouble--------------Parts are missing Possible causes-----Wife hid your parts / wife sold you parts on ebay Fix--------------------Pay more attention to the wife, ask forgiveness, then buy your own parts back We have all heard this one before... The squeaky wheel gets the grease... Applied to the marriage situation of a Wheel Horse owner, one could apply this saying in the following manner. The squeaky wheel (the wife) gets the grease (take her out to a nice restaurant, of her choice, and tell her how much she means to you, but don't talk about the Wheel Horse during dinner, she don't care how long that hitch pin took to remove) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dkopp 1 #7 Posted January 17, 2011 You guys never cease to amaze me. Count your lucky stars if you are members of the fortunate ones whose wives are into your hobby. Chances are you guys have some other trick up your sleeve in getting your wives involved, besides vibrating seats. Care to share your secrets? P.S. Is that type of vibro seat good for hemorrhoids?

Look, not here... nor here... no gun to her back in this one either. To me the "trick" is to get involved in sharing your lives together... if it means buying her her own car or tractor, so be it. Small price to pay brother, for sharing life with your best friend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dkopp 1 #12 Posted January 18, 2011 amcrules00 You know the secret...by George you do. My wife doesn't share in my hobby so much, but I share in hers. She is a photographer and I help with her outdoor shoots and build some of her props that she uses. She definitely has an eye for it and has her own style. You can see her work if you search for Kopp Photography Designs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HorseFixer 2,012 #17 Posted January 20, 2011 Craig I'm pretty lucky too. She tells me she would be happy if we lived in a Cardboard box! I've tested her time and time again tried to get her to run off and she wouldn't. The house I purchased was small and each one of my daughters had their own small bedrooms. MJ and I slept in the basement looking up and pipes and ductwork for 12 years how many woman would put up with that chit? Her reward? I always told her she would get a bigger house, so when I could afford it I designed and Added on 1500sq ft and remodeled the rest now the place is 2500 sq ft and too damn big! She wanted to have her own bed when we go the the WH shows so I bought her an Motor home, I bought her a Air Plane for an Anniversary present not that she wanted it but by god she waxed the belly of that plane prolly more than I did. I don't have to consult her on purchasing anything as she supports me in all I do. I am truely blessed and a lucky man and It looks like you are too! :banghead: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You is a lucky guy Amcrules even tho you are in the Empire State ed Hard for me to believe, that pict is over 16 years ago. Though we were in the Garden state at the time, she's definitely no Jersey girl. That there is a New Hampster tree hugger fellas, thru and thru. I think she wears her years pretty well. Definitely the better half. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Operator 7 #20 Posted January 20, 2011 To you guys with the understanding wives , more power to you I took mine on one road trip , out to So. Bend, kept saying took to long, sitting too much. Even got a motel room for her! Didn't really b***h but said "no more tips". She figured out I was up to something lately when I sold a couple Horses, "what you buying now?" is all she said.
