I need a new hobby :-(

[Dead_And_Gone]

Congratz... Glad it worked out for you.

I rode bikes alot in my earlier years.
ALMOST ponied up for 2 dirt bikes last year for me and da boy.
Ran out of green stuff when all my back troubles hit.

Have skuba license, and it is dirt cheap after you buy your
equipment.

Have Mountain bike.

Have guns.

HAD Horses. (Expensive and time consuming) Peruvian Paso's.

Wife got her Sewing machine, her embroidary machine, her laser eyes, and I STILL got the ice and 2 jobs. Playing online is about the only fun I get these days.

So, I should go overseas to find a wife?
OK, she has to be blind, HOT, and likes older men.

Oh, man, you bought it too soon...I found the perfect hobby for you with the help of Lair pals: http://www.cainslair.org/showthread....997#post131997

Update !!!

Got all of my riding gear yesterday .. just in time !! I go riding at 8:30 AM locally with my brother-in-law. His Dad has some land with trails on it, so I am going along to get a feel for the quad before tackling a full scale weekend ride at the end of this month.

I'll see if I can't get a pic or two of me .. no promises, as I am more excited about just riding. I got 3 hours of sleep last night, and I am not the least bit tired.

Ohh, and remember that Boxer puppy that I had to buy to even up with the wife ??? Well, he comes home today as well.

Good news! Keep us posted on how the ride was.

Albino Boxer? Or does its fur darken as it ages?

We were absolutely floored that a guy that I talked with on Tuesday was now clearly doing a Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde thing and had to be on some wild stuff to be so agitated as to be foaming at the mouth and damn near ready to hit me.

So ... yea .... I am beginning to think that a higher power is trying to send me a message at the point ...


PS - I have two more quads to look at next week, and I surely hope neither seller inhales something illegal into his system just before I arrive

Here's a trick, when doing large cash exchanges with strangers, keep a Springfield Armory model 1911 Mil Spec .45 (or pistola of your choosing) hidden on your person somewhere...just in case things get "weird" again. Kidding...of course...probably...

Post ride update:

Ackkk, nobody warned me about these wonderful symptoms that riders experience such as arm pump and a right thumb (the throttle thumb) that just stopped working on my way up a very tall and rocky hill.


My thumb got major cramps after an hour, and I literally lost all ability to make it manipulate the thumb throttle at times after that (usually on big hills).

But ... I survived !! The guys had a a nice laugh at my predicament, and altho they had both gone thru the same things they were not taking it easy on the 'rook' either.

For only getting 4 hours of sleep last night, I bet I will sleep like a baby tonight. Pics of the Boxer puppy to be added later tonight.

Arm pump and hand fatigue fades after time. If your experiencing tons of numbness due to engine vibration you can look at heavier bar ends.
