    Nah...you can sleep when you're dead. I hope your will includes karma instructions for giving away your gear on Club Polk B)

    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.

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

    "Yes, Dear" should be your standard answer for a while.
