blow to the ego! (my wife doesn't care about scooters)

Eggzellent advice, sir. To which I'd add:

Better to bend to the whims of the wife,
Than be left broken by the whip of the court... - Annoymous.

EXCELLENT. I remember when I first started out marital counselling. I blew first few and near quit. I'm coming back to it, as much in forums as personal contact, and much better qualified. I hope these youngsters will tolerate an ole geezer like me trying to help.

Welcome back Capt!

Thats what I'm saying! I need to try to take advantage of this opportunity. I'm gonna try to sell everything for down payment and I need to find someone to rent my place now

Thanks Brad. Good to be back in the Land of Sun. The Land of Rain and Mold was nice, but only because it was so green.

Yeah. Strike while the iron is hot. The good news is, the iron should be hot for at least 5 more years.

A good woman loves to feather the nest. A great woman realizes that one of the feathers is her man. I think you're very wise to go with her on the house. The house will come, time will go by, and the scoots will come into that great garage you'll have.

After 25 years of marriage we accumulated so many 'feathers' that we decided to get some space back and sold a ton of crap on ebay. Kids always think their parents are rich because, bit by bit, we have so much stuff, lol. My wife's strategy for keeping me at home and happy is to let me buy affordable toys often. But it was all after we bought our log house on a lake, about 20 years back. One of the happiest days, for me, of our life together was the day we took our first scooter ride together last spring.

You guys that advise to put your lady first know your stuff. You end up BOTH being first, go figure.

As we say here in the South: "If Mama ain't happy, ain't NOBODY happy."

I wish you the very best of luck!

DUDE, I like your style. My thrill came last winter as I said, "We need to go to Walmart for xxx", expecting to go in the car. She said, "can we go on the scooters?" It was her second ride, the first on a very cold blistery day. We don't buy toys for me anymore. These scoots are HER toys. I just enjoy the ride. Kids are finally out of the house, but close enough to enjoy. It's just me and her and our toys which we share with the kids on Sundays.
