    So I stroll in the house after work last night and my wife says well since it’s your birthday should be head to Gander. I said hell ya.

    Then she looks at me and hands me a package and says “You might want to open this first” I am thinking what in the world she hates Gander Mt. with a passion

    It’s a small little package. After a quick think about it. I tear the thing open like a 5 year old on X-mas morning. S.O.B.! She got me a Patternmaster choke tube!

    I said “Dang baby you are good!”

    I guess I must have been talking in my sleep again.

    Just had to share how lucky I am to have a lady like I do

    Hmmm I wonder if that’s why the FW bought a new dress for my birthday?

    Happy belated birthday Clink!

    She is without a doubt a “keeper”. Do not let that one get away. Going on 40 years with my “Keeper” so I know what I talk about.

    Happy B-day for sure!!!!

    The nicest thing about your wife getting you a pattern master is that she had to do a lot of homework to get the right style. There is some thought behind that one. Kudos to your wife and congrats.

    Thanks guys that was super cool! Love that girl.

    Bored at work this morning I looked up the patternmaster website to see what they had to say about thier product patternmaster

    Then I looked at the price $85.00. I thought thats not so bad. Out of curiosity I called my wife to ask what she got it for @ Gander. she paid $119.00 sticker price $127.00 and some change out the door

    The dealer is selling them for $85.00 plus $6.44 for shipping for a grand total of $91.44 if my high school math is right.

    Whats the deal with that? I called Gander they are closed. Got more upset and called corperate. They are going to check into it. I guess for me a $35.00 difference is a big deal!

    Is that normal to have mark up like that????

    John. I know the Gander in Rochester the prices are higher unless you have a quote from someone else. Then thay will match it. I do not like that business pratice so I buy more at Cabela’s.

    If you buy them from PM direct they come in black. I was looking at the Wad Wizzard myself because of not being ported.

    Enjoy your new choke tube, regardless of price.
    I would expect it to offset some forthcoming jewelry or clothing soon
    Good luck
    cheers
