Do not tell my wife
What she doesn't know, won't hurt her.
My Browning Maxus was getting dirty and the normal stuff wasn't working to clean it. Carb clean, brake clean, gun oil, nothing was cutting it. I decided to try some Simple Green soak. The only container I could find that works is one of her brownie pans. It works great. All the parts fit.

Re: Do not tell my wife
Simple Green will also clean the brownie pan. I see no problem.

Re: Do not tell my wife
If you didn't do things like that, you would be a big disappointment to her. Funny how their minds work, but they expect it of us.

Re: Do not tell my wife
My girlfriend hates that part of me......but she's a clean freak. Her carpet was new in 1989 and it still looks new. Not even a spot.....

Re: Do not tell my wife
At least I remember to get car and gun parts out of the dishwasher before she wakes up. She has yet to know I used the oven to cure the Cerakote on my 1911

My wife uses the occasion to buy new pans.

Then the garage is full of woodworking tools and projects. I need to organize that so she can park inside this winter. She thinks I do that to make her happy. Actually with her car in the garage snow removal is easier. But I'm not telling her that.
