OT: My wife rocks, great Christmas gift

My wife surprised me with a Tig welder. I am now the proud owner of a Miller, Syncrowave 200, including a new Miller auto darkening hood, welding rods and a 125 cf tank.
I've been talking about it for years, and this year she called a buddy of mine (a pro-welder guy) and they went shopping.
My wife rocks, I wont get the usual socks this year.
Just wanted to share.
Merry Christmas, everybody

 

Sweet... Shes a keeper.

 

Damn, Dreadman! That's awesome. I'm sure you'll put it to good use.

I hope you got her something nice.

 

I hope you didn't get her a bowling ball.
Has she got any sisters?

 

Wow! Santa came early! Hope his sled has room for a few more of those. Shit, if you were Jewish you coulda got eight of them!

 

WOW. She lets you do your car thing AND buys you a welder! What a gal.

 

thats awesome chris-

 

How you gonna tig weld wood?

 

My wife thought I was "stressed". She got a gift certificate for a massage at Burke Willimas. I told her I'd be a lot less stressed if I had all the parts I needed for my car....Let the Fairy Jokes commence.

 

Life is good here too. got a box from so-cal from the GF. I will let you know!?!?

 

I'm pretty excited.
I'm already working "plasma cutter" into some conversations, planting the seed, hint, hint, for next Christmas.

 

thats awesome man. my wife and decided not to buy each other anything this year. Well, except a new (to us) home. 2200 sqft. with a two car garage on a big corner lot. we close on jan 24th. Hopefully next year we can add on to the garage for the shop...

 

That is great man, and I don't think it is off topic at all;

And I would like to say how lucky you are to have a woman that cares so much about YOU to do something like that.

Oh and lastly you are gonna love that welder and we know you love the wife even more now lol

 

That is a sweet gift.

The new 'ladyfriend" of mine got me the item in the picture...I think it's pretty cool...

Maybe next year I'll hint around for a Tig, lol...

Merry Christmas everyone!

 

Man, thats cool, I should have your lady talk to mine, so mine can stepup like yours.
happy Holidays

 

wow, you got a bad ass gift.... and you even got it early. that's what i call service! she's definately a keeper!

merry christmas,
