Well, kinda worked out... Still got a mouthful from my wife for blowing all that money on a new trolling motor. she just didn't understand i didn't have a choice, not even after i showed her a picture of the inside of my MG trolling motor rotted away! Wives...... ?????? My ex-wife, and every girlfriend I've ever had for that matter, would let the tires on her car get down to metal belts before she would even consider replacing them. She would let the check engine light stay on for YEARS. But oh god help me if I made one complaint about her buying her 20th pair of $100 shoes or that $800 handbag that she only uses once a year. :wallbash:
