Smart enough that subterfuge almost never works. I think my Orvis waders will continue to safely contain my bulk. Nancy and I are stranded tonight in Boston (wanna bet there's a post coming about that one?), and we've dragged out baggage all over hell and back, suggesting the excess tonnage might be disappearing...

This could turn out to be the ideal opportunity to get one of those $700 latest and greatest Simms Waders with the waterproof zipper. You could just say "Honey, these are now the ONLY waders that I can fit into. I absolutely need these waders. You wouldn't want me to have to resort to wet wading in the Upper Sac and run the risk of getting hypothermia or getting a bad cold, etc?" Look at it this way.
