negotiations over - one more year

[2fpower]

My wife and I have an annual ritual, where we renegotiate the terms of surrender. We were married 19 years ago this weekend -- and we have a "year to year" contract. This keeps things at an even keel. We have never had a "government shutdown" situation, when we could not come to terms; however, this year we settled pretty early.

Well, evidently, I was good this year, as I think I came out alright.

You may have seen this rig earlier this year in Trails. Thanks to @spencer arndt I have yet another distraction.

Wait a minute. Did you get another rig? If so I need to look at my contract as well....

What led me to this one was:

all aluminum aqualu tub and cowl, fenders, upper, windshield.
350 w/ fuel injection conversion done (no carbs to rebuild again - praise the lord),
Aluminum radiator
arb lockers front and rear
front disc brakes and axles/birfs from 60 series
five speed tranny
old man emu lift
almost new bfg tires
Swing out rear tire carrier and jerry cans
finally, Saginaw power steering conversion done.

Spencer works at cruiser outfitters, and is quite a great cruiserhead, so gave me much comfort on the purchase.

Got a list of stuff to do to baseline it, but plan is to enjoy it before making any big changes.

I am going to be selling off my tub that all the metalwork had been completed (sitting in primer) and other parts from the rig I was going to build with the 3fe drivetrain. Basically, I hit the fast forward button on that project.
