and to Rob & Randy who both ride Harleys.... went to the Harley shop today to pick up some Christmas gifts from BikerClaus. Wow. I wish i had some money to get a new Harley.. couple nice ones in the showroom. Damn wife anyway! hahahaha (shhh.. don't tell her i said that)
Waiting on the appraisal now, and supposed to hear about the radon test today (EDIT: just got the email that the Radon passed, the EPA says it's ok to live there ). There was nothing from the inspection that we asked the seller to fix so we are good there. We're hoping everything happens pretty quick so we can maybe move closing up a couple days....

I was in the local Harley shop last month, now the sales guy is bugging me. He said the owner is a bit hungry and wants to make a deal on either the one remaining brand new 2008 Street Glide, or a used 2008 Street Glide... Don't know if I'll take that plunge or not, I got nagged into selling the Fatboy and I don't know if wifey would tolerate another two-wheeled child, lol. She has seen first hand how miserable and whiny I was after I sold the Fatboy!

I'm hoping Harley offers their low or zero interest finance deal again in January, I may not be able to pass that up! From the sounds of it HD is in a little trouble for offering a lot of 'sub-prime' bike loans to get people riding the past few years.

Hey Jerry... at least it is some income and shouldn't keep you from getting unemployment either.

Evening Gents. Got to spend the day Christmas shopping. God, I hate that! Not too bad during the week though, you couldn't get me to go to the mall on a weekend with a gun to my head! Got the Black truck washed too!

Jerry, glad to hear you got a side gig, maybe that will work out long term.

I wouldn't go to the mall either, screw that mess, My gf always complains that she cant take me anywhere, so i politely tell her "that's why i drive!!!"
However,
Just because i wear the pants in the family, doesn't mean she doesn't tell me which pair to put on
