If you spend more time on THO than with your family.

As long as the wife is in the room it still counts as family time right??  :hysterical:


As long as you nod your head now and then like you are really listening...

Wait... huh??..... Oh yeah. Umm.... ok. 

Then a week later we have a cat. That is one conversation I wish I would have listened to.   :hysterical:

If the phrase "It's what's inside that counts" has you eyeballing every tree and not considering interpersonal relationships.

If you go to dinner and talk about more finishes you have started using.

"If you've ever had to buy wood for a camping trip because your entire woodpile is chunks drying for calls..."

"If you've ever cut blanks out of the Ironwood duck that your mother in law bought for your wife last year in Cancun...."

"If you've ever stole your wife's scissors out of her sewing container because the are sharp enough to trim duck call reeds...."

"If your  neighbors pay you for working on thier car with burls cut off of thier maple trees..."

 Let me ask the wife, I'm sure there are a few thousand more.....

My biggest fear is that I'll die and my wife will sell my callmaking supplies for what I told her they cost.....

If your wife's car sustained $9,000 worth of hail damage because the garage is your call making shop.

The dining room table that was left to you by your mother has dried epoxy and ca drips on it.

If you spend all day at work browsing the THO forums thinking about all the calls, finishes, and wood combos you'd like to try.

If you have paid for HVAC services in custom calls.

If your wife calls you on your cell phone to say the baby is crying at two in the morning only to realize she actually heard a duck call being tuned.......Tone board needs some work if that's the case  :hysterical:

If you start driving to Kansas City in late January, regardless of where you live.

If you try to re-purpose every new tool you get at work to making a process in call making easier.

If you carry a mic with you to the sporting goods store when you look at calls.

If you decided that buying a call was just too darn expensive and 3,000.00 dollars later, you brag about how little it cost you to make the new shiny call around your neck.

You pull every call you see apart with no regard for another person's tune job.

When you sneak out of a diner party to show some fellas a few calls you just happen to have in the car.... Your wife's car...

When every shirt with a pocket you own has permanent wood chips residing in it.

Shopping trips with the wife lead to you rummaging looking for things to repurpose for call making.
In life or anything worth partaking, if you have stopped trying to improve you have quit.
