richard.parker - 2015-07-08 4:05 PM You need to wait until she wants something of similar cost that (you think) is unneccessary. Like say resurfacing the kitchen bench (AlPep Koa thank you very much) or installing flooring over the current perfectly good floor (still looking for the right guitar there). Then you pounce: I'll agree to your xxx if you let me get another guitar.
When will men learn... When YOU want something Fun, you have to get HER something FUN! WANT, NOT need!!!!! Jewelry, something that means something to her, a romantic weekend away together, an evening out dancing - telling her how much she means to your life! Nothing to do with housework, or cleaning!!! UGH!!!!! No toasters, ovens, mops, blenders, flooring, vacuums, weed-wackers, UGH!!!!

Well I DID just take her out to California for our Anniversary. And I DID arrange for the grandparents to watch the kids for the whole week so we could get away solo. Now if only I can find that damn piece of paper with my signature on it...

I am waiting for the okay to have tops replaced too, I have a 1976 1111-4 that is Identical to my Original Ovation that needs a new top, so once we get the okay on the MotherShip Repairs up and running, we can start sending in our Ren-OVATIONS to them too!

Good Job Mbedard!!!! That was VERY Sweet of you!!! You are probably already in the running for that new Ovation/Adamas - just ask for it for your Birthday/Father's Day/Christmas combined present!! I hope you get it, you sound like a good hubby!

SWMBO's not really into jewelry, flowers, designer clothes or that sort of waste. She is into stuff "for the house", which she counts as "ours", not hers. I could care less about accent walls, new furniture, etc., but I do like "my" guitar room and still need to finish the garage to my tastes.
My worst attempt at some sort of reciprocity was buying her a Porsche. That didn't work because I drive it far more than she does. A few trips can quickly overcompensate for a lot of guitars, but she tries to fit those into the "for us" category. I usually do enjoy them after being dragged along, but not as much as I enjoy having a nice guitar to play whenever I want. I like owning stuff and don't really buy into this idea of the memories lasting a lifetime. I forget too easily, I guess.

The combination certainly presents itself as being an efficient timesaver.

We rented a 911 on our trip up to Sonoma and Napa. How do you fit the Ovations into the "frunk" on your wife's?

We have a Cayman and I haven't put any Ovations in the frunk. The back is a hatchback and I've had two sets of golf clubs facing front to back in there, but I prefer to lay a guitar in a soft case across the back trunk. I took the LAV Koa that way on top of a full set of golf clubs laid out on the floor of the trunk. I've also hauled various electric Ovations with a little Danelectro mini amp. mIt's definitely not an ideal guitar hauler, but we already have the Honda Pilot for that.

If that goes down, count me in. Never been to the Mothership before. Be good to put some names to faces, and would be a good opportunity to drop my Elite off for some much needed spa treatment at the "mini-mother".

I can imagine the cast of characters from "back in the day", including a llama, so the christening of the bell tower might be beyond my imagination.
