Ever walk into your reel repair shop and find.......

FishDad · April 22, 2018, 09:01:28 PM

.....your wife standing there looking at your workbench, hands on her hips, and she asks you - "are these my measuring spoons & if so, what is that in them?"......My answer - uhhhhhhhhhh, how did those get there? This really happened Friday night, & after a quick run to the closest store, she has a brand new set & a promise from me to never touch her measuring spoons again. No promises were asked for, or made, about other kitchen utensils.

Want to add one?

Tsk Tsk!

If you needed it you should have hit the dollar store or something.

Replacing it was very wise

Been there a couple of times, the last time I got clever, she had a stainless steel colander that fit perfect in my 5 gallon bucket to soak my parts.
I took a chance and snapped one of the handle off, when she came home, I mentioned we couldn't use this anymore, maybe you should buy another... she agreed

Same here Sal. I use one in my parts washer.

This has worked well for me. Need to screen the bucket out very year or so.

just throw them into the dishwasher. they'll be fine!

Wouldn't dare...I respect my wife's stuff and space to much.

(i.e. I'm a coward when faced with her justifiable anger)

FYI, stick to pipe cleaners or Q-Tips to ream out/swab passages. I have learned the hard way that no matter how effective an eyebrow brush is for the job, it is NOT acceptable...

FishDad · April 23, 2018, 02:02:36 PM

Thanks everyone.....Mr. Alan, those were my exact words to my wife. I still had to go to the store for a new set.

Brewcrafter.......shhhhhhhhh !! Don't let the word get out that those brushes are perfect, after all, most of the grease I clean out of places is black, so what you don't know, won't hurt you......right?
