It's obvious that you care about her though - that's very sweet. Just be there for her whether or not her marriage survives.

Cheers,

Absolutely. I think they will learn a lot from each other and grow up a lot with each other. They both work. She also goes to school so I would say they got their heads on pretty straight. I just can't help but poke fun at her new hubby. He is just a bit silly to me. He has all these cheap swords and stuff like that that he just thinks is the bee's knee's. I have my laugh about it but I think he is an ok guy.

I just feel like my lil sis just never really got to experience much of anything. All she has ever done is go to school and church. For the ten years I have known her thats all she has done. I guess I did a lot of stuff as a teenager tht i had a lot of fun doing and thought she might want to do some of those things. But she never has showed interest in anything. I guess I just don't want her to wake up in fifteen years and realize she never had much of a life. But, to each their own. What fulfills ones life might be completely dull to another. She will find her way through her life just fine like we all have done. Mistakes and all.

For some reason exotic cars driving around in NYC are pretty common. I guess the highlight was someone driving a Bugatti Veyron but other than that Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Bentlys and the like are too common. The question is: how is it that all these people have that kind of money?
The same reason all these people have 300+k homes around me and im in a 100k home. I mean I cant imagine paying $2500/month for a house payment especially when mine is only $597 before they add on escrow.

Either way I spent 3 hours trying to figure out how to remove my alternator following my haynes manual. Only because it starts off with step one and then step two requires you to goto another part of the book and then that part says to goto another part of the book for another step before going back to that step and then you get to go back to the first step and then goto another part of the book ugh. First vehicle I have ever owned that the alternator is in the back and you have to pull the engine forward to remove the thing. Either way didnt fix my origional problem but it did make it better. Now at least my voltage is consistant instead of all over the place.

You should get the Honda factory shop manual. The Honda factory shop manual is hands down the best factory shop manual and the best shop manual period.

I spent the day working(volunteering actually) at the annual Gastown Motorcycle Show and Shine. I was directing traffic and "manning" the barricade.

It was a hot sunny day and thousands of people came out to see all the shiny bikes. It was estimated 100,000 people.

Picked up my sister's bike in my truck... Poor girl got T-boned lightly by a %$@#& in a Mustang here in town. Who then proceeded to run from the scene. She's got every car/bike enthusiast in the state looking for her ATM.

I scouted out a new route to get to the bridge. Due to highway construction and the building of a new bridge, the entrance I usually use is closed.

Then I went shopping. :mrgreen:
It's amazing how much stuff you can haul around on a motorcycle.

So that's what that was about. Is your sister alright? That dumb dogs in the 'Stang better get what's coming to her (It's a shame I'm not in CO so I could lend a hand).
One thing you can count on: You push a man too far, and sooner or later he'll start pushing back.
