    Last year, my wife didn't like what the stress from my job was doing to me , and she told me to retire in January . . . so I did. In May, on my birthday, she suggested I stop drooling every time I saw a Can-Am Spyder commercial and buy one . . .so I did in June. At 65, I think I need to listen to my wife more often!


    "Topper" is my Pearl White 2013 RT-LTD

    Professional Retiree - liked it so much when I retired from the USAF, that I started another career so I could do it again!

    Default 2015 that is the model for me...

    Yep that is the year for my new Spyder....then Reggy, Tricleds, and all those other farkle gurus will be HAPPY.....They'll miss my plastic at Spyderfest 2014...no reason to add any more to Ms Spyder since she is moving into her short timer phase of "life"..... But I will be sad when she goes...but think I will probably "heal" quickly...
    My Motto Is:
    Live my life in such a way that when my feet hit the floor in the morning...Satan shudders & says "Oh, crap, SHE'S awake!"

    White Knight: 2014 RTS SE6 and matching 622 trailer (from Pitbull
