sinker 0 #3 March 13, 2003 oh mouth, why am I not surprised to hear from you... the only prob w/ this is that I've pulled that card far too many times. she'll freakin kill me. BUT, in my favor is the fact that our original deal was that I buy gear as we paid down debt. Now, w/ this unexpected bonus, we have enough to replace our kitchen floor and to buy a component of a rig, ie main canopy probably. (The rig has to be put together piecemeal, unfortunately). We'll see how it goes. m -the artist formerly known as sinker Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tasadin 0 #8 March 13, 2003 Or dont know if this will work...... tell her how mcuh the bonus is less the price of said new canopy and that she can have just about anything she wants. Then buy a new canopy the same colour as ur old one "If everything seems under control, you're just not going fast enough." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wmw999 2,589 #11 March 13, 2003 Quoteshe knows all my tricks. honesty is the best policy. With that policy you'll get a lot farther in the long run. Mainly because as you get older, your memory goes, and you can't remember what lies you told to whom. So lay it out on the table, and make love on it (the CANOPY! THE CANOPY!) Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence.

steve1 5 #12 March 13, 2003 I often use the old safety trick. Tell her you'll be much safer with new gear. Tell her after all your gambling your life everytime you jump old stuff. (even though you may be stretching things). If that doesn't work try whining a lot. I often use the line that I'm an old fart and if I wait till I can afford it, I may be dead. I need to live it up now. I've used all these arguments with some success.......After a month or two of begging and pleading my wife usually gives in.......Steve1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steve1 5 #13 March 13, 2003 Another good idea, that I've used, is to let her buy something expensive. Then it's your turn. Owe, the games that people have to play! But then again, new gear is worth it. Steve1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RevJim 0 #14 March 13, 2003 Get a container man! Nothing beats a properly fitting container, trust me, I know, after going far too long with one that had too small of a harness! Reserves can be found in the classifieds, as well as useable mains for pretty cheap (my Cricket 145 reserve was $349). Once you have the container, the rest is easy. If you don't get it now, you'll be kicking yourself, having this new canopy, and nothing to use it in.It's your life, live it!
