Today my wife said, "I was turning out the lights in your shop, and I see you bought some tools I haven't seen before." Me- deer in the headlights look- "Ummmmm... What tools, honey?" Her- "Some sort of knife-looking things with shaped wood handles."
Holy cow. She found the Flexcut chip carving tools that I got on sale at LV. It was the old "They were on sale and I needed them" justification. I normally tell her when I spend money, but after buying all that stuff on Cyber Monday, I figured it best to just get them and let them fade into the clutter in my shop. She walks in to turn out the lights and somehow is able to (a) spot them amongst the clutter, and (b) identify them as new inventory.
Here's what is funny about this story- I went into the shop to put them away and it took me five minutes to even find them. They were covered in wood shavings from my latest project. The woman has radar. How did she even see those?
