So after the latest boat incident… Wes and I have decided to put the boat idea on the back-burner for a while. It’s expensive. And it’s going to be expensive over and over and over again. Wes’s boss actually told him “BOAT” stands for “Bring Out Another Thousand”. So.. After spending $216 to rent a U-Haul to go get a boat and not come back with one, we’re taking a break from yachts.
This doesn’t in any way mean that we won’t have completely outlandish ideas that may or may not work out, or may or may not cost us thousands of dollars, or may or may not get us killed. We bounced ideas back and forth for a while last night.
We thought about getting an old car to fix up for a while. Then we realized that to be cool, it’d have to be a classic and that would just be expensive and probably way beyond our skill level. We talked about building an arcade machine, but that’s too much computer for Wes. It took us a while, but we figured it out:
Now we’re hunting motorcycles.
I like the old Harley Davidsons like the one in the picture. They’re really expensive, though, so an older Honda or Suzuki would cure my itch, too. I’m not entirely sure what Wes wants, but it’ll probably be something similar. Neither of us are really in to the new sport-bikes like the Kawasaki Ninjas. They’re not bad bikes, I just don’t see Wes or myself riding one.
Should be a fun endeavor. I’m supposed to go down to the DMV today to take my permit test, again. I took it before, but it expired last month, so I have to retake it. But that way I can tell Wes what was on it and get him a DMV handbook to read through.

as spawn of a man with a boat, I can tell you that it DOES, indeed, stand for that. Lessons we’ve learned: never use Jake’s landing, mold sucks and use bleach more often, and THOROUGHLY winterize your engine.

Oh dear lord. You should’ve just popped into the Doghouse a week ago to talk to some members of Hell’s Angels. They were in town for a while for some rally. Gonna go ride down Route 66 when you fix them up? lol
