Life is just a bit too short to get our britches all bunched-up over this one; Let's save our sense of moral outrage for those poor unelightened souls out there who ride anything but Spyders... :shocked: :roflblack:

I think for me it boils down to risk factor... There is a "Risk Factor" involved on riding a motorcycle over a car, that is increased by whether you use a helmet or not... I don't believe helmet wearers are smarter, just that they choose the level of risk they want to take. We have our helmets, but not our spyder yet ... The good thing there, is I have suffered no more head injuries at the dinner table.. :joke:

Just got home from work. The air conditioner is working for now. :yes: Tech called and gave hubby some instructions and said to call if problems continue to call him back. Says he doesn't want to make a house call if not needed, trying to save us some $$. Seems they're overloaded with a/c problems. Go figure.

Glad to hear that you're getting at least a bit of fresh air at home... Good Luck keeping the cool air coming! :thumbup:
