Rick, tell the missis how much money there is to be made in the old reel business.  That will buy a few months grace period while you get the essentials.  After that......?  I'm looking for suggestions.

I use Kero to get old grease and oil off my reels and shower cleaner to get all the gunk off my chrome parts. Most times the chrome has been eaten away by salt etc and that's why I always keep greasing my chrome parts.

Well Steve
   fourty plus years ago she may have been gullible enough to believe everything I said....
But those days are long gone LOL the wife knows me to well.
   Now a days she just assumes most of what I say is B.S.

I played the "big money card " to many times in the past
experience has gave her wisdom, I'm sad to say.... :D
