Pulled the Trigger

Well I did it.

I have two Kandi 150 ATVs heading my way. One Blue for the Mrs and a black one for me. 2LZ has promised to lend all of his expertise and knowledge to this semi-noob as long as I share plenty of pictures. Went with Superior Power as they offered the best deal AND gave me a senior discount. (2LZ remember to ask for it next time…..)

Looks like I am hooked…….

Man! That looks like it was done by a professional! Love the avatar.
There's the Tom Petty vid here somewhere. Long waits are common.... Hopefully they'll be good with your paperwork. Took a while for mine since they have to do all the DMV work for you.

Had to add some siding so the afternoon sun won’t tear up the new toys. This waiting game is for the birds….

Killing time…..

The dog in questions name is Jessie and she is a Chesapeake Bay Retriever. She is 14 now and although and has been rode hard she still tries to act like a puppy. She is deaf with fading eyesight but her sniffer still works great. (The Mrs and I joke she is getting Alzheimer’s…lol) She hasn’t been waterfowl or pheasant hunting with me in the last two years. We call her our Goofy A$$ Dog (GAD).

The GAD in question enjoys following me around while I putter and being in my way every time I turn around. At least half a dozen times during this project I have turned around, tripped over her and almost gone down. I know I will miss tripping over her way to soon.

Here is a pic of my girl when she was much younger.

Jessie is a lovely girl! It's about time that we resurrect our pet photo thread.
