today i answered two of the oldest questions .......

..... that have troubled fishermen since the dawn of time.  or at least since the dawn of modern appliances. 

first, can you clean your reels in the dishwasher?  and second, if you get caught, what will your wife do?

well, i had a few hours at home before work this morning.   i was looking at a box of reels that i got in the mail and figured that these really needed a good cleaning.  with half a load of morning breakfast dishes and my wife out for a few hours, i seized the opportunity.

the dishwasher ran through the wash and rinse cycle, and started to dry.  then, i heard the three words that a misbehaving husband fears the most.  "honey, i'm home!!!"  the first questions she asks is why the dishwasher is going.  how do they know?

fortunately, she has a sense of humor.  and lousy aim!

unfortunately, one dishwasher cycle did nothing to remove the corrosion on these old penns.

You are a lucky man, indeed.
Fortunately our wifes get used to and accept all our schemes.
I once used the washing machine as a tumbler for dirty cartridge cases.

When I saw that first photo of your wife's face I thought - Here comes Big Sh!t.

Luckily for you the second is far better!

Glad to see you survived to tell the story.

It seems as though your wife was pretty understanding of your attempt with the dishwasher, however, I reckon perhaps if for no other reason, but your own safety, don't try the microwave!
