Hey there Half-Caf! Congrats on your engagement. Bummer about the loans,bud. I'm sure you'll be ok. Good luck!


Tools, you are right. I know that our credit will basically combine if we were to get married. I just had no idea it was this bad. When we were looking at buying,rather than building a house, we never had her credit ran. Only mine. I'm kinda curious what her score would look like now. Mine wasn't what I hoped it would be,but I'm pretty happy with a 786. I have never had a loan that I didn't pay off early.

CreditKarma is a free credit score site, and does not want your credit card info, or for you to sign up for stuff to use it. I follow mine, and Toolbabes on it.

Truck
So planning a group trip to the Keys next Feb, taking the auto train so we can drag the bikes along. A friend who lives in Atlanta is going to meet up with us. So she hops on the ol interweb and looks up tickets. For her to go from Atlanta to Orlando she would have to go through Washington DC and pay 3 times what I'm paying for my ticket! WTF!?!   
It's only illegal if you get caught.

If at first you don't succeed, use more lighter fluid

Just added a new bike to the stable, but like the others, the temp isn't going much above 6,  with cloud and rain.   I am thinking about that ride to the keys though, i'll leave on oct 31 and meet you in feb......lol.   This was the longest winter ever and spring hasn't really arrived yet.   I'm going to be a 37 yr old snowbird and work the 6 months of summer :)

Dang Easy! That's a sharp looking Wing! Congratulations.

Sitting roadside in my "new " work truck wondering where all my sparks went. Now it occurs to me just how odd ball this beast is. 350 Chevy? Common as grass. LP injection? Um....LOL.

2014 has not been the year for vehicles thus far. My love for internal combustion is waning.

Vent over...

Hey Shiney,  that photo, I lifted off the internet as the nearest thing looking like the hand me down that I'm about to ride back from NFLD.  I unwrapped my own bike(750) from 2 tarps and a cover tied down every which way from sunday today, put a heater on it for an hour, and it started up first try(no oil change , no gas burn off)  muhhaaa, I think I'll spend some money on my 750 this year!1   ha

My Dad had an old chevy like that when I was a kid. We called it "The Blue Goose" The back seat was a playground, and the package tray was the best place to lay down, and take a nap on a long ride.

My wife wants an SUV. So put a bid in on this (local power company, selling off some of their fleet)



Of course, I told her I was buying this:



Some rubbing compound and a set of tires is all that separates the two ... right?
