    you know you are getting old when....

    When your normal routine of going to bed, falling to sleep, waking up and going to the bathroom becomes a situation where you get the last two out of order.

    Took an opportunity to run a more relaxed pace and video a friend of mine.

    Man... this grinds my gears...

    That's pretty tough to see happen but pawning it for a loan is a lot different than selling it to the pawn shop. I'm sure if he initially wanted to sell it, he would have sold it for the value of the gold to someone but I'm sure he had every intention of paying it back and getting it returned...

    Hi to my peeps

    Hey Tizzo, Pretty much just track riding now. Don't get out on the road much so the bumble bee has been sitting. I think I put about 500 mile on her all year.

    Hi to my peeps

    Tizzo! How are you! Yeah, a lot of the gang isn't here any longer. I drive by and say hello in the Aquarium. I sold my tank so no longer part of the hobby.

    My new ride!

    I didn't waste any time putting it to use either. My buddies Suzuki broken into two pieces. Well, actually 100 pieces, but broken in half. Never saw one brought in with a front end loader before.

    My new ride!

    It took a while to convince me as I have always owned sports cars with big V-8s and I didn't give this a second look at first. My friend I ride track with is a Ford Mechanic and told me I really needed to look at it and told me about the torture test they did on this engine. After some...

    My new ride!

    For the first time in 30 years, I don't have a sports car. Got rid of the Corvette and bought a new Ford F-150 Supercrew Platinum with the twin turbo V-6. I missed the Vette for about 10 minutes.

    Estimated cost to move a tank

    I've pretty much been out of it for two years now and just had the tank on auto pilot. I'm sure I'll miss it when it's gone but I don't think I'll be setting up another tank. Not selling the setup for $400 Flower. I'm selling it for about $400 LESS than I could get parting out the tank.

    Estimated cost to move a tank

    I see your point and yes, I am sure I am done after 15 years. I could part it out for around $400 more than I'm asking but the effort and time is just not worth it to me and I would rather sell it as a complete setup and have it gone. I am selling for less than it is worth without a doubt.
