Nah...you can sleep when you're dead.

Ok I’m awake from power nap
I was so sleepy when it was delivered this morning…
Guy rings the bell, I’m in pajamas
He says I got some audio gear for you.
Rolls one in, he says but wait - there’s more.
Rolls the other one in.
I looked at it then at him, I say “my wife will kill me.”
“Have a fun day sir!”

Good start would be to have a really nice supper you made for her and carry on from there.
Next step is what SC said above 😂
Best of luck to you sir.

Last night, I got the call that they were coming today
My wife didn’t know about it
So I washed the sheets and did extra errands around the house like prep the kids’ snacks for school for the week…
Then I debated do I tell her now or wait till they arrive.
I told her speakers were coming today, last night.
“Okaaaaay…..”

I hope that's not her parking spot in the garage...that would put things off to a bad start. I'm sure your kids will be excited...so maybe try to tap into that."This may not matter to you, but it does to me for various reasons, many of them illogical or irrational, but the vinyl hobby is not really logical or rational..." - member on Vinyl Engine

Tell her if she doesn't like it she can sleep in the crates for a night. That'll learn her.

Way funny.
Not sure I’d go this route though 🤣 -
Lol I know. I like to talk **** but there's no way I'd say that to my wife either

If I ever said that to my wife, it’s gonna be a free for all for my gear.
