...To this day she can do a relatively accurate replay of me jumping into the air and screaming like a girl....  Usually she laughs quite hard after the accurate replay...

To keep me humble has been my wife's job for the past 50 years (anniversary June 23).  ;)

Lee, they have a way of doing that, bless their hearts. :)

Your a short timer Lburou, but congratulations  on your 50th anniversary. I've been the King of my Castle for 58 years now, June  5th 2017. I let my wife help me work the cattle on our anniversary. :yes: Jack

Worst mistake...
   Brushing a HUGE swarm of bees off from under a limb into a bucket....  Only when I bushed them off it revealed the hole that was the entrance to their hive....   I was pulling stingers out of my body for days...  Woke up about 3 am and threw up, felt fine after that.

  Second worst mistake?
   Allowing wifey to watch me while working a hive... while wearing shorts....
  To this day she can do a relatively accurate replay of me jumping into the air and screaming like a girl....  Usually she laughs quite hard after the accurate replay...

 :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D Sorry but that there is funny.
