That is CLASSIC! :-)

How do you keep the spouse from not seeing the FedEx truck, that's my
problem..........

Look up the FedEx Delivery time. Give the Spouse a gift certifiacte to the
mall (a just because gift), you and I both know she will be gone for hours.
Get a buddy to help haul in the BA. Conceal the BA in the basement, attic,
or wherever. When she finds it and she will, state your keeping it for Joe,
Sam whoever. Works every time. (;-)

Well, if you work, you can have FedEX drop the package off at work (done
that). Then, hide the package in the covered pickup and bring it home and
wait until your spouse is asleep to cart it in.

At some point, after studying and perfecting The Shadows techniqe of mind
clouding, your spouse will not see the FedEx truck. In the end, my wife has
given up and simply makes comments on occasion to let me know that her mind
is not clouded.

The only problem I have is when my wife goes on a retreat for a weekend with
her girl friends. Her friends all tell her how they control their husband
and they do not tolerate anything lke she does. It is not intentional or
malicious that they do this, just they are using their husbands for their
personal welfare rather than mutual welfare. It sometimes takes 2 or 3
weeks before I have convinced my wife that indeed I am a better husband with
all of the junk than they are without. I have to convince her that the
other women indeed do not love their husband and indeed their husbands have
other faults which I do not have. Sometimes I sweat a bit for the first few
days as I have to come up with all of their faults and my qualities.

We have been married for 28 years and I do have a 150 foot tower with
numerous wire antennas going every which direction, so I have no complaints.

It does require constant vigil, though.
