Default When the wifes not looking.

Okay guys, what have you done at home when the wife wasn't looking? I boiled a deer head in the turkey fryer, and burnt the windings out of the Cub PTO clutch on the gas grill so I could rewind it.

Oh there was the one time the insurance lady came over and we.... Oh wait, that was a dream.
I don't try and slip anything past her, I just do whatever it is I'm going to do, whether she's at home or not. Once and awhile I get that "look", but there's been no bloodshed, and she'll get over it.

Pretty much the same here. She even let's me bring stuff inside to work on it. I don't think she much cares as long as I'm out of trouble lol

From curing Salmon eggs on the kitchen counter to putting road kill in the freezer to work on later I don't think there is much I could do at this point that would phase her, she is a good sport. Besides she is the one bringing sick ducks in the house in the middle of winter to help them get well.

My wife must truly cherish me.....cause she is still here after I did this ,
I came home from a day of late bow season with a large doe ,mid December and all the outside water is off for the year. There was a note on the table ,she says gone shopping be home later . Women shop minimum of three hours huh ? The deer was skinned but kinda dirty . I thought hey I know ,I'll put it in the bath tub!
Well you know there's gonna be some blood on the walls and floor right. Just as I'm lifting that prize deer out of the tub with a big bear hug ,I heard a terrible sound...the sound of a door opening ! I did my best to smile and not look to panicked .

I think the worst thing I've done (she was home though!) was flush the gas tank of an Allis Chalmers in our bathtub. I was flushing rust, no fuel involved! I did clean up afterwards too. But man, what a mess!

I've cleaned parts in my basement with mineral spirits- man did that stink- and I've spray painted in the basement near an open window. I caught crap for the parts cleaning so I don't do that anymore, but haven't heard anything about painting.

The worst thing my wife has caught me doing in the house was using the dishwasher to clean muddy RC truck parts, I bought the truck dirt cheap because it was covered in mud and looked beat but once it was cleaned up I turned around and quadrupled my money.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
