Thank you, Dave. It's part of what I'm here to learn for my soul's progress. I've got a lousy track record. I've loved but have always settled. I think that's probably a cat lady's mantra.

Wow, that's unbelievable. Moving his sh*t in without asking would have been the end of it, if I had a vote. You are a very patient lady.

Yes, the beautiful blue F150 he drove to Durango while I drove my blue S, and they both got hammered with hail in Colorado Springs. I got my S2000 fixed and he took $5,000 to pay rent on the rental house he had at the time. He traded that V6 truck for that awesome motor home he's driving now with a 4 cylinder!

As I said, he lies constantly. He told me he was starting my Kawasaki every month to make sure the carb didn't clog. The day I got here he had it loaded up on his motorhome before I'd even signed over the pink or gotten the money for it. The funny part of that though is that when he tried to ride it the carburetor was clogged up again. I already paid once to have it fixed which was why he was supposed to be making sure it didn't happen again. Well hahaha it did happen again because he lied about riding it. I wanted to put stabil in it and he said it wasn't necessary because he'd run it every month. His lies are starting to bite him in the ass. That makes me smile.


^If he doesn't fix it he'll be getting a ticket for blocking the license plate. I mentioned that to him and he said oh no you can see it. I just notice the tie downs across the seat. I bought that seat after the hail storm because it got wrecked. I'm just shaking my head looking at that.



He spent over a week fixing ^ it up. I have been cleaning up blue paint and get this, black electrical tape. He used house paint and electrical tape to make it look sharp.

Yes, it does. I'm sure the electrical tape will be falling off within 2 weeks. He plans to stay down at the beach.

That's a nice dirt bike. Sure you couldn't use it on all those mountains in Colorado?

Yes, I could have but I was not happy with it anymore. It's a 2003 Kawasaki KLX 300R and it's heavy. I decided to let it go keeping in mind that if I want to get another one I can buy a brand new one that will be much lighter and probably handle much better. I don't know if it's because I got used to riding my ElliptiGO standing straight up but I was becoming more and more uncomfortable leaning over to ride that Kawasaki. I'm 17 years older than when I bought it. That's a big difference in my body.

Not everyone is an over-achiever. Heck, I remember when I thought being a beach bum looked like a wonderful life. I just didn't know how to make a living at it. Will he have to keep changing parking lot locations all the time?
