Tougher than me

[Pepe]

For years I have told people that the 3 things I am most afraid of are; 1.) My Wife. 2.) The IRS. 3.) Electricity 

Once again, I am reminded that I am married to a tough Wyoming Cowgirl. 

Under no circumstances was I going to be fishing today in the cold, rain, sleet & snow.  But my wife, Lily, was up for it.  A friend of ours needed a partner for the Joe Bass tournament out of Kimberling City today and was struggling to find someone willing.

She just called on her way home and said they had a great time & took 3rd place with 19 lbs.  She put 2 of the 5 in the well.  They had a limit by 8:30 and culled several times. 

I am again reminded why she is #1 - on a lot more than the "most afraid of list"

Hot dang there Pepe! That's great to hear it was worth the effort.........she's is tough..........not sure if I'd be too eager to get out to fish in this weather myself.

I met her before, You're a lucky man!

Good for her.  I knew some big bags would be caught in the snow.

Super job by Lily and big congrats. I myself know the blessings of having a tough girl for a wife who loves to fish.

I have only one question ... she had to call and tell you she was on the way home with money? You were not even tough enough to go to the weigh-in?

I always thought that marrying a tough one was a great decision and a distinct advantage.  And then I realized that I wasn't tough enough to keep up so that kind of blew the whole darn theory.

I didn't really need somebody else in my life calling me sissy names all the time!  Now I be like, "Would you PLEASE leave me alone?  I SAID I don't WANT to play Navy SEAL today!"

I was having too much fun by that point - watching my 3 & 5 year old Grandsons. We played in the snow until we were all frozen.  

i had hoped she would call before weigh in if they had a good day - but, believe it or not, cell phone use is prohibited by tournament rules.  Seems odd to me.
