Operation: Wife's B-day
WingingIt74 Tue Oct 30, 2012 10:26 am
I ended up getting my wife a gag gift for her birthday of a Cox International Xena's "Pink Panther".
My wife is always giving me heck for buying engines, this time I bought her one
Except I swapped out the backplate for a stunt tank so now it will be Suzanne's "Pink Panther"
I'll take some pics when she gets it. Hopefully I can get her to run it on the test stand Her birthday is this Saturday.

Put it down inside the wife gift,,then when she open it exclaim "how in the heck did that get in there?"
Better yet,,find a large cloth covered clamshell jewelry box,,,big bow holding it closed.

Your the man Travis!
Good idea, my wife is a sucker for anything Pink. I just might do the same thing.

Well she made me give it to her early. She did get a good laugh. I think she liked the card I made a whole lot better.

Joke for the day:
A drunken man returned home after any evening out with the boys.
His wife met him at the door with a broom in her hand.
He then asked: "Aren't you done cleaning yet or are you flying somewhere?"

Actually she thought it was funny, we both got a good laugh. My boys think its a really cool engine and think it's cool that mom has one.

Wait until your kids turn 16 and complain because you haven't bought them a car.
What then Sherlock?
Will their whing pay off??????? It CAN become epidemic if you are too easy on them.
My forty-six year old son has told me he didn't realize how smart I was until he got older.

Hey, Travis, were you the forum member that was resurrecting a Jeep type vehicle? If so, is that it? Maybe I'm having a false memory, seems like I remember a thread from last year about a rebuild project.
