• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

can money make you happy

GREAT picture!! :2thumbs:
But can it buy happiness?
I'm afraid not... :shocked:
But it CAN allow you to enjoy your misery in some REALLY neat ways! :D

Exactly what my Dad used to say. He also used to say that while it wasn't everything it sure had what ever was in second place beat by a long way,:thumbup:
 
Can money buy happiness? It works for me, but of course I have no morals and am very shallow. :joke:

If you got the money Honey,....I got a little time.....

The Bible claims "the LOVE of money is the root of all evil." I agree with that Quote, if one is a miser who squirrels that money away with out enjoying life,.......on a Spyder! Once I reached 70, I decided I was all thru saving for retirement. I liquidated all assets, including my house in Laguna Beach, CA. that we had lived in for 31 years, and moved to Virginia, and live in a 3rd floor Apartment as our "Base Camp." I decided I could either buy a brand new home in Roanoke, and spend my remaining years left ( unknown ) as I have done the last 50 years being a slave to the other 5 houses I have owned, .........such as watching the grass grow so I hop on my ride on Mower and spend my week ends mowing,. Or, I could hop on my Spyder, and ride all over Virginia waving to others mowing their grass on their Ride on Mowers. They all wave at me when I ride by, wishing their Mowers could ride on the road. Then, instead of making my weekly Safari to Home Depot and Lowe's to hunt for the unending items needed to fix plumbing leaks, roof leaks, mold, wood rot, termite tenting, electrical problems, A/C problems, Furnace problems, filter replacements, painting, ( never ending job) ,......Holy Moly, I'm getting nauseous just thinking about it!! Soooooo, we decided to stay in our up scale 5 room apartment with a one car garage, and use our Laguna House money to travel the world. We started traveling in Aug. 2012, and since then, have visited 60 different countries,.....and are gone 1/3 of the time between Spyder rides in Base Camp Virginia. I intend to try as hard as I can to arrive at my Nursing Home financially broke, with a hell of a lot of fond memories. For certain, once any one arrives to a Nursing Home, if one has any money left at all, or a house, then that money will be sucked dry as fast as the Medical Industry can suck it! So, my Philosophy is, USE you money NOW, if you have any, once you retire.

Can't disagree with that logic. I pretty am doing the same thing. Bailed out of CT and I plan on spending my kids inheritance. Seeing that your in Roanoke if you are in the area let me know.

Sam,
you live in a famous part of Virginia, i.e. Wayne Henderson Country. He builds some great guitars, and sells then for as much as my Spyder would bring on eBay! I've heard him play in person several times, and he sure can make his guitars sing.

I'm not big on guitars but I live 3-1/2 miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway. Always good for a quick ride.
 
Blue ridge Parkway

I also live about 3 miles from the Blue Ridge Pkwy. I do ride some section of it almost every ride, but I have only gone South on it as far as Meadows of Dan after having lunch at the Grist Mill. The furthest North I have ridden is Big Island, 22 miles North of Peaks of Otter. 2-3 hour rides, 100-150 miles usually is enough for me , but if the sun shines, I usually take a ride when I'm home.
