The above is a bit tongue in cheek of course - I am sincere when I say: thanks for saving this piece of memorabilia.

Yes, Mrs. Wife questioned (she does that a lot, usually with a frown). But when I had the tire removed from the rim to save shipping costs she came around. When we moved back south the tire came and the couch stayed behind. I still hear about that.

Did you try replacing the couch with a folding military cot, Bruce?

33 years married and not a day goes by without her threatening some dire consequence due to my excesses. I'm starting to think she's bluffing!!

Who hsn't been sent out to the couch once in a while? Little do they know it's kind of a treat. Mine figured it out, so she goes to the couch.....still a treat as I can really stretch out.

Bruce just don’t let her in on the naming of your son. That one takes the cake

Bruce,

Glad to hear you set your priorities right. A couch is a couch and can be replaced, but a 75 year old relic cannot!
