oh...

well, I guess I haven't been clear. I have a demo from work. That means I get to drive a new Nissan.. usually an Altima. Also, back in January, I bought a 97 Grand Cherokee for $1000 ...just so there would be a car in the driveway, and so I could pull my trailer/carry kayaks, etc.... Jinx had the Commander and the payment that went with it.

Then, in May, we traded a much nicer 99 Grand Cherokee, and I was able to sell the 97 and upgrade with minimal expense. So, it's a nicer Jeep...One I could drive another 50K, probably.... BUT! ... At the end of July, jinx bought herself a new Jeep Wrangler and dropped the Commander back off to me 5 days before the payment was due. Surprise! So now I find myself with 3 cars. One has to go. I should sell the Commander. But I can't. You've seen it. I'll tighten the belt and make that payment... and if I can't, I can sell out of it quickly. I'd still have the demo.

Buddy of mine went through a fairly ugly d-i-v-o-r-c-e. She said "I'm taking the house." He said "You can have it. But, I'll go bankrupt, and I'll bankrupt anyone who'll loan me money, to make sure you get the payment that goes with it." She did.


Dude, get the bike. You will never regret it. Unless you get all horizontal. Stay vertical. Or at least diagonal.

Oh, and BTW: Windshields are for cars.

Bugs in ya teeth, that's where it's at.:D

I tend to agree, but at 80 mph + that windshield takes the bite out of a raindrop.

The bike Bruce has ...the windshield pops on and off with a couple clips and a tug. You just can't take it with you, so you have to decide before you leave...

I nearly called a kitten "Harley" funnily enough.
Because of his huge purr.

We ended up calling him Raphael, which caused pronunciation puzzlement to all vet staff we encounted even when entered as a pair with his brother Gabriel.
Nearly as much as Diz, which they assume is a foreign name because he is a pedigree.
Nope, just my contraction of the breeder's name of Dizney, not being prepared to accept a homophone for a name I do not like.

I like that colour shirt on you, Jim.
If I scroll quickly it looks like you're bare-cheasted.
Or speaking of homophones.... bear-chested?
