Being single since September really is very enjoyable
Now, my big challenge is, can i resist any temptation long enough to get the 2013 Transrockies event paid for before getting into another relationship???
Loving the Terminator theme!!
Yep another midlander surfer biker here current count is 6 bikes and one surfboard I have another surfboard on order.
First board is a 6ft 6 Gulf Stream Speeddialer in yellow - custom order delivered three weeks ago. Second board on order is custom Nineplus 9ft 6 Trim King 4 longboard currently in production in California somewhere.
I rationalise my spending with the wife as follows:
1) I don't go to or watch football
2) I don't disappear off to the pub for the weekend
3) My hobbies keep me fit and healthy (does she want to live with Mr Blobby)
4) I always spend more on her and the kids with lots of holidays and things
5) The golden rule - never ever tell her that you can't afford a holiday or household purchase because of your hobbies!!
6) Oh ye and remember whatever you buy was in the sale and a bargain.
Pezzers is bang on. The last point is critical.
I also use the line - "at least it's not cocaine and hookers".
well, not yet anyway....
Have any of you tried SUP'ing? You know all those boards you buy, the tiddlers and the biggies, well if you get a 9.8x30 or a 10.6x32 and a paddle you can grab way more waves than bobing in the briney for 4 hours catching 2 waves.
Try it.
Oh and living by the sea doesn't always mean you get to play on it any more than you do travelling all the way down here.
Theres still too much to do in life.

Pfffftttt........I told her we couldn't have a new sofa because she'd picked the only one that wasn't in the DFS sale, using some mumbo jumbo house deposit saving excuse, shortly before the new bike and board arrived 🙂
