Spousal abuse is sooooo cool!!!

A while back, I gave myself a year to go AG. I figured that it was only fair to take the time to find the cheapest price possible for all the equipment rather than just go out and pay top dollar.

My brewing experience has always been a battle of wits against an unwilling missus. Up until today, I have always had to let her have a little of what she needs for her sewing hobby in order for me to say "Well, you have a new cutting table, I need a bigger brew pot" It has been a battle of wits. Sadly, I am totally witless and have not been getting as far as I would like.

In a blinding flash of inspirationless stupidity, I finally pulled off a master stroke! ..... I totally f*cked up her cooker! Well, not so much f*cked up as permanently slightly spoiled. I took the enamel off one of her grills......

She totally forgot the plans I had outlined just a couple of months ago, and asked me. "Why don't you buy a turkey fryer to do that crap?!".....Excuse me!? ....Then my Gnome senses kicked in, and I realised it would not be a good idea to remind her about all my hints in the past. "OK, I can get one for $40, but it does not have a pot, and I need a 15 gallon pot.....I reckon I get get one free from the scrap yard". I have a keg already hiding behind the garage, I paid $30 for it about 2 months ago.

Now, apart from fittings etc, I just need to lie my way into getting the 10 gallon cooler for a mash tun.

It's not as if she wouldn't let me have all this stuff over time, she is a wonderful and loving lady.......But somehow, spousal abuse is much more fun, and definitely the way to keep my aging gnomish senses honed.

I'm sorry, I should not laugh. But, I laughed my ass off at this.

I sincerely believe that your wife is 1000 times smarter than you, and she's just ****ing with you. So, while you're thinking you're being so wise and getting around her, she's about 10 steps ahead.

As a woman, I say, "You go, girl!"

As a brewer, I say, "Come on, man- get the ****ing cooler and tell her it was on sale at Walmart!"

Sometimes you gotta let the hen know who the rooster is.

As a woman, you are always right.
As a man, I am smart enough to tell you that.

Not sure, but I won't be buying any more LME. She has donated too much cash to her daughter to get away with me not getting the cooler
