The thread for SWMBO

#230071
Last week I got an extra day off because it was raining and there were no golfers playing at the country club where I work. I got on a tear to clean up and sort through some of the parts cluttering up my house and do some re-decorating, which for me involves moving various bikes to different places around the house.

Since I've been told that I make a great bad example for you guys to point out to your wives or significant others, I thought I'd take some pics of "casa de Gringo". Now when SWMBO starts making noise about one of you guys wanting to buy one more bike you will have photographic proof that she doesn't have it so bad.:laugh: So without further ado here is your ammunition.

The living room with 2 bikes and the pool table that serves as my parts dept.

My computer area with "Senora Gringo's" new bike parked next to it. The cabinet above the computer has parts stashed in it too, as does the closet. If you guys can't use these pics to shut her up there's nothing more I can do. Use them as you see fit.:laugh:

I beg your pardon, that's a good Japanese made Panasonic thank you very much. It has really low miles on it too because I'm lacking the female extension that attaches to the handle.B) :laugh: :ohmy: :silly:

The only thing wrong with those pics is the pool table wasting valuable space. Replace it with a dining room table and you can store parts under it as well as on top of it :)
