I do admire the guys that have found a truly great wife. I suppose my error was in my younger years I always went after the Extra Fancy Looking Gals....took me way to long to figure out if there Fancy looking and still single...might be a reason.
  Now I'm older and took up pipe smoking(rarely) I found out smoking a pipe can turn one in to a philosopher.
  Now I think of those Fancy gals a lot like Grizzly Bears....there beautiful to observe in the wild, might even be fun to wrestle with one ....but when it comes right down to it, you wouldn't want one living in your house with you.

(Disclaimer) I do believe there are Some good gals out there, but just like hunting Unicorn, it can get mighty wearysome.

I feel like one of the lucky blessed guys, this Bear found himself a terrific Mrs Bear  :)
Same here Jim , I married way above my character & intelligence level, I never doubted from very early on that God had his mighty hand completely around this union.

Congratulations Bruce, your post reminded me of this verse:

Ecclesiastes 4:12: Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.

The husband/wife team is more rare that both parties are "down" at the same time, so they prop each other up...but if the 3rd strand IS God....why then the state of Union IS Strong even if the husband/wife team is  "down" at the same time....you can Still rest easy.
Good stuff Ben , and truer words were never spoken.😄👍

I suppose I'm lucky in the wife department... My Miss gets just as excited as I do when I set up 40 feet or so of Mamod track in the living room!
She even suggested that I make a few nice shelves to display my ever growing collection of models.
But wait, after visiting Falling Water, I made an appointment with Dorita to visit Jensen. While there, she recommended I buy a model 75.
" What's one more engine? " said she.
With such encouragement, I'm doomed.
Have fun everyone and stay guilt free!

I have been vaccinated against covid 19. Is there also a vaccine against the vapor virus? I hope not!

As I write these words, I watch a small Doll steam engine on ebay.🤔
Cheers
