I`m totally with you on that, no food or drink anywhere near the computer.

 

Good Wednesday morning FTRers, have a good day....

I hope things are better now Grant

 

Happy Hump Day all. All is well, thanks, have a good one.

 

Hopefully thats something he grows out of by the time he's independant. I have two daughters, near 2yrs an 4-1/2yrs, it pains me to think of what teenage years and highschool will bring into our household. I think our thoughts on dicipline are similar Grant. The effective way of enforcing the rules aren't welcome in today's society though. Talking over this same topic with another father a while ago and he made a good point. Nowadays when you dicipline your child, you're actually diciplining so many more because of social media. The minute you tell your kid they can't do something, they're on their cell phones, ipods/pads, laptops, etc. sending the word to all their "friends" about what a bad person you are. God help us all...

The mustang got traded with the Jeep towards the Fusion. It was a fair deal, + I never had anywhere to put the Mustang for the winter. No way is my truck sitting outside, and for sure not the family vehicle. It was a tough decision, especially driving it down to the dealer...listening to the pipes wrapping...almost changed my mind, but I'd like to get a nicer, lower mile, newer one next summer, or maybe a Jeep Wrangler convertible so at least a guy can take it fishing and stuff...

If I had 40g to throw away at toys with no remorse, I still don't think I would own two bikes again. I'm still not sure if I really want to get one because of the time it takes away from being with my kids. Not to mention the added risk of being taken away from them forever. 99% of the timeI can't even take it to work for an afternoon in case I have to make a material run or something...

 

Raising kids is rough now days, its worse when they get older too because of the social media Sherm was talking about, I'm glad my boy is 26.......

 

I dont think there is any added risk when riding a bike. I ride my bike sorta like how I drive my western star, and if ya learn how to read traffic, and ride accordingly in different traffic conditions, the chances of getting in a serious bike accident are very slim compared to a regular vehicle.

I wont ever not own a bike again. I got my first bike when I was 10 ish, and Im a biker at heart.

Same way I wont be without a sled, a quad, a boat or a camper again

I cant wait to get my little girl a mini bike and quad and sled! Shes gonna get taught that social media is there for fun and to not take it serious, AND that life is much much more fun outside.

 

My Harley days are over & I dont miss it at all, I'd rather be in a truck.......

 

I love my truck, but there is nothing like feeling the wind out on the open road. I like to drive everything though

Im a fairly outdoors type of guy though, id much rather be in a boat, on a quad, sled or bike then in a vehicle.

I do enjoy driving my truck though, just not quite as much!

 

Happy hump day, it`s a windy one here.
My biking days are almost over but I still like the occasional ride way too much to quit just yet.

 

I like camping in the country, thats my outdoors........I dont like boats either but I have a canoe, really

 

I like camping and boating but sometimes it`s hard to find time when I want to. Hopefully next summer isn`t quite as busy as this one was.

 

Ya thats what you always say, lol

 

My biking days will be over when im in the ground


What is it about boating you dont like Gerry?

 

It`s true, I must be doing it all wrong.

 

Theres no brakes, lol........the lake (Nippissing) we live on here is very large & gets rough real fast, many small boats have capsized, but its not just that, I have a big camper I like better.......I would like to go on a cruise ship some day
