Daughter is getting married tomorrow to a really great guy, then heading off to Europe for a 5 week honeymoon(they are paying for that themselves, and have spent the last year+ saving vacation time).

There is a middle-ground. Watch the documentary "Tiny: an exercise in living small." I'm not suggesting that you move into a 100 square foot box, but take stock of all the things in your house you don't use, and could live without. That documentary has stopped me from looking at larger houses.

if my little baby doesn't appreciate what i do for her, i will probably sell her for a new race bike and rig, and a really fancy tennis racquet. maybe even a pro stock one if i'm feeling frisky.

The rat - race can be a ringer. It's only worth doing if you legitimately enjoy your work. The money alone will not sustain you for 80+ hour workweeks in the long run. At least that's the conclusion I came to at appx age 30 when I jumped off the fast track in favor of more free time. I will say this w/r/t time with your kids-- the most important things you can give them are a) their lives to begin with and b) a materially safe existence and c) love. When those are in place, they have the ability to achieve their potential. Quality time with the parents is nice, but overrated in the grand scheme of things. They will remember the high points, and your personal qualities, not the quantity of time you spend with them. My parents ate shit, figuratively, so I could enter adulthood on a better trajectory than they did, and I consider that more loving than attending all my little league games. Life is full of tradeoffs. That's what makes things interesting.

Well I have been wanting a new bike for sometime now, so I can go on some more long distance trips, and I finally got a new bike. 2014 Yamaha FJR1300A. I test rode this bike in July and fell in love. This thing has plenty of power and amazing comfort. I had to trade off my old BMW, but I'm happy now. Onto the pics...(That's my buddy's 2011 R6 in the background. The thing is mint.)

I dislike (most) unions because I would like the economy to improve.

Sure would be nice if she came back. She's freaking hilarious.

Gen3 got some new wheels for her ride.

I have my kids do my yard work for me while I sit on my ass, drinking beer and yelling my critique. Quality time in my book.

Loved the Scotch Ale at Boundary Bay(got it on tap instead of the bottle)

NOFX - Freedom Lika Shopping Cart (with lyrics): Yes, and double on Mondays.

My wife claims we could not have a second baby in this house. I look at our dining room and see a table we use four times a year, and in our living room we have a couch that only the dogs lay on, with a coffee table I have never set a drink on. The shelf under it is filled with DVDs that we watch far less often than their cost justifies. I could likely empty half of every closet in our house too. Absent a school system, I see no reason to "upgrade" houses.

I think about it everyday. I have worked the same job for almost 20 years, i make good money but strugle still to pay for a big house and a big family. I am thinking about down sizing and going back to a less stressful life. I dream of a little house on lots of land, with a lot smaller payment. I would switch jobs but my skill set is very narrow, and i could not make the money i do elsewhere. Yeah the rat race sucks and i would love to throw in the towel, but my wife and kids keep me going.

I'd be happy with that at any age.

dude... How hard is it to not bang kids???? and for all of you who see nothing wrong with this, double-standard much?

graber builders http://graber4polebarns.com/our-products/pole-building-packages/ these guys going are going to do my building. I haven't checked with 64, but im sure they are cheaper. plus their amish so they know how to build a barn!

I've never done a quote for it, but I ran across this... http://www.houseneeds.com/learning-center/pex-tubing-radiant-floor-heating/pex-radiant-floor-heat-new- Not sure it applies to your needs, I was just digging around and found it.

My head hurts after trying to explain this to the guy

I'd rep you for that but, you know

Shut up, rep whore...

Should be. Upgraded servers, switched from Lighttpd to Nginx, and switched MySQL to MariaDB. Should be a lot faster now. Oh, and upgraded all forum software packages.

Dudes a hero, just dumb for bragging. I agree you can't actually rape a guy. Even if it was homosexual half the dudes are gonna like it whether they admit it or not. Probably how lots of closet gays are made lol.
