Default Where are YOU cutting back?

It is at times like these that a lot of good toys are going cheap. Stuff
like motor bikes, power boats, even cottages up north are showing more
ForSale signs. (A lot of Michiganians are no longer willing to spend the
money on fuel to get there.)


Not cheap enough.

I want a bass boat. I'm watching craigslist in three states. Have the icons
on my desktop to prove it. I even have a lake with dock to put it in. I have
requested additional pictures from all the sucker sellers who will send
them, just so I can mas ... er, salivate.

That said, SWMBO just got off the phone after making me pay for youngest
daughter's round trip home from college for Thanksgiving.

.... and now the Christmas reservations must be made.

.... and that dock needs repair, and the permit for that is $250, then the
material, plus gas to get there.

So much for the farking bass boat ... now wondering if I can afford a cork
and cane pole?
