Lines that may get your wife to "OK" that need sled purchase.

[PJ-Hunter]

Guys, guys, guys- the trick to getting your wife to go along with your sled purchases is to get HER into sledding too! Then you will have an activity to do together, and she'll go along with most of your purchases (so long as you go along with hers!)

LMAO! Easier said than done. I have bought and sold 4 sleds for her, just trying to share my passions with her. I'm done with that

Or just do not have a wife. Simple

Working on that one right now.

I don't say boo....just tell her what I want and she cuts the check....yep marriage sucks.


love you honey

You have the only wife like that in existance. When she was made, God dropped the mold and said "that's it".

Yep, if you want a new toy now and then you gotta get her into the sport too. Sarah (the wife) is taking the year off as she is expecting(due) May 7th with our first little Sledneck. I truly believe she jinxed all of us in Colorado this year. She gets knocked up and no more snow, at all. We are kicking around the idea of snow checking a new sled this Spring (Polaris 800pro) as it is "her turn" for a new toy, but we might be holding off with a new arrival (not a sled, mind you) this Spring.

I just put a new top end on her RMK700 2008 just to be safe, so we are probably good anyhow for a couple of more seasons.

Ride from last week (trail) up North of Granby to stay at the Vagabond Ranch, so the little gal or guy has been on its first ride already...

She's got a bit of a belly already

So we can blame you and BCIL for this snow? His wife is laden with child also.

So how did he taste?

Daaaaaaaamn!!! You had to go there.

Just think of all the money Ill save from not having to rebuild this POS...

 

[Old Scud-doo]

First wife didn't give a shiz what I spent my money on as long as she had money to do whatever she wanted. We did nothing together but spend my money.

Current wife loves the sport. She knows that she isn't welcome every time I go and frankly, she prefers for me to have time with the guys. I told her I like the 2013 Pro and she asked why. I explained the advancements and she told me to go snowcheck it. Never has a woman wanted to do with me, any of the hobbies I have and my wife loves to do them all almost as much as I do. I couldn't be more thankful for her and the fact that in 2 weeks I will be snowchecking a 13.

I just blew the motor in my sled. Wasn't even planning on getting a new one and she told me to go get a new one so we can go riding. I didn't know what to say.

Monday - "thank you"
Tuesday - "you are the best wife, how did I get you?"
Wednesday - "got any errands I can run for you?"
Thursday - "let's go out for dinner tomorrow night"
Friday - "thanks for taking such great care of the kids"
Saturday - "that was the best day of snowmobiling (after you get new sled) ever"
Sunday - ..."do you think we need a new truck?"

repeat until get new truck.

Ive been married 15 years and can honestly say that coming up with a reason to tie sledding to more time with her works the best. Example....

"Honey, I realize that the sled Im riding now is good enough, its fast enough, and I admit that I have alot of fun on it. Lately though, Ive been getting a little older and youve seen how my back aches from riding that washed out trail Ive always ridden, digging myself out of bombholes, lifting the sled to spin it around, etc....I know it costs alot of money, but consider it time invested in us...When my back doesnt ache, I spend time going out with you more, play with the kids more, can knock off your honey-do list easier, and more often, and frankly, I get pissed off less. Wouldnt you agree? (she agrees) So honey, with this new sled, my back wont take the abuse on the trail, plus its lighter, allowing me to get stuck less, spend less time fighting with the dead weight, etc...Its really a great tradeoff that benefits us both, plus Ill look cool at the same time!

Next thing you know you have a 100% green light. If you brought true issues to the table from the beginning, you dont have to feel like you lied or pulled the wool over her eyes and shes even suggesting you ride it more....trust me guys...honesty and innovative thinking go a long way if you really love sledding and you really love your wife. If shes just a girlfriend, I doubt this would work and you should simply say "Who are you, my wife?" Then you proceed to buy the sled. Good luck!!

"It's been 12 years...aren't you tired of me putting money into THAT sled?"

 

[Peak Productions]

After your 2001 sled, I bet your wife was right on top of that offer, huh Scott?

Now you're thinking!!!! That's has been My stategy!!! I always make sure I pay extra attention to my girl when she's ridding with us...make her feel comfortable and she love's it!! And it works!!! She doesn't mind spend'n a little on sno stuff!!!! I have seen her tip over the sled more than once and scares the hell outta me ...but she's a gigglin and trying to get it back on ski's..It's the most fun in our world!!!

 

[PowderGirl]

My response to my man usually is "well, as long as your getting me a new one too!" LOL Course, I don't wear my stuff out as quickly as him (like motors, its just cosmetic for me cause I tend to run into things) so some years, I have to give him the OK.

 

[Calvin42]

How's that song go by Brad Paisly? "Well, I'm gonna miss her". Fishing, snowmobiling, it's all the same.

 

[slyrydr]

...apparently when my wife finally screams, "just do what you f'ing want", doesn't mean i can put 5 bills on a snocheck....i'll have to go try to get it back tomorrow...

Maybe you can still salvage this deal. What does she really like, but she does not have yet? Don't ask her, though. You need to figure it out if you have not already figured out the hints. Then get it for her instead of snocheck the sled. Then just patiently wait for next December so by then should have the nod. Now that sounds too simple but we are guys and they know all we are capable of is simple.

 

[M82L8]

I am certain the new truck deal won't fly - even after I bought her the new sled after mine!! Not really sure how they put up with us - having all that fun and all. The girls are most always invited.......

 

[M82L8]

Better to beg for forgiveness than ask for permission??? Just wonderin........

 

[skibreeze]

I earn it, I get to decide how to spend it. The key is to take care of your wife also. Mine got a new car in 08. When I bought my boat, I named it after my wife. When my wife lost one of her earrings the other day, I bought her a larger set. Making her feel special from time to time goes a long, long way for me.

You can't buy her something you want and tell her it is for her

[savagecanuck]

Yup as I type this I still have not told her that I snowchecked a 2013 Pro and will be trading off the 12.have to pick the right time to mention it
