Hi all...was a really busy day around here.  Greg talked to the salesman at the Harley dealer and then he called me around 12:30 and said he was coming home to get his bike and was heading up to Loveland to see if they could work a deal.  He wanted me to go to the bank and transfer money from savings into checking so we could just write a check for the new bike and also to get the title to his old bike out of the safe deposit box.  He was home shortly after I returned so we headed out, he on his bike and me following in the car.  Once we reached a deal concerning the trade-in on his RoadStar Warrior and the price of the Harley, we were told that they only take personal checks for &#036;5000 or less and that wasn&#39;t going to get us anything.  They said we could write a personal check for the full amount but the bike would have to stay at the dealer until it cleared.  So we located a branch of our bank in Loveland, and Greg stayed at the dealer to go over all the paperwork and I headed off to the bank to get a cashiers check.  It took me about 45 minutes to get there, do the transaction and get back.  Then we had to visit the finance dept. and pay them and then someone had to go over all the features of the bike with us.  By the time we left the dealership, we had been there over 3 hours.  I followed him back home and then jumped on the bike with him and we went for a ride and out to dinner.  It is a world of difference, comfort wise, on the new one.  We have spent a lot of time this evening, out in the garage, admiring it.<br /><br />I didn&#39;t get squat done around here today so tomorrow will be a housework day.  Martha, hope your cataract does not develope any further.  I had lasik surgery in May of &quot;08...I had worn glasses or contacts since I was 18 months old.  I wasn&#39;t nervous at all until they had me lay in the chair and were getting ready to start and then the thought &quot;what the heck am I doing...what if they blind me&quot; crossed my mind.  I sure am glad that I went thru with it though.<br /><br />Jim, chili dogs...yum.  One of my favorite meals&#33;&#33;&#33;<br /><br />Well, guess I had better get off here and spend some time with my sweetie before he goes to bed...<br /><br />
