How did you spend (or not) your gubbamint stimulus...

Postby RamboPreacher » July 12th, 2008, 10:49 am

I mentioned before that we were getting a quad bike. it came yesterday. took most of the afternoon yesterday de-crating it (it was shipped, fully assembled):

My wife and I took it for a spin, rode it nearly 3 miles. Had to make a few adjustments for stride length for each of us, and brake placement. all in all, it was fun, safe (for us), and an exercise.

we'll prolly just ride it around our inside neighborhoods, before riding to the store and stuff. I counted that for the first ride, we had only seen 5 cars on the road we rode, and in housing area's, we may have exceeded their speed (they didn't come rushing up behind us, as example). I need to keep a closer eye on the bike-computer (speedometer).

all in all, we are very satisfied with the investment. we will get much more use out of them than the 'bents we bought a 4 or 5 years back. With those, we only rode them on the trails, so it was a challenge getting them there, as I had to load them in the truck and get there first. with this, we can just back out of the garage, and ride! :)
Thanks, Brent "RamboPreacher" Hoefling

Truck repair for my son (ended up being a trade in for another truck instead because the truck was unrepairable)
Church camp fees for my two daughters
Soccer camp for my youngest daughter
Marching Band camp fee for my son.

Can you say gone, gone, gone????

$1800. Poof. Like the wind.

New garage door and opener and replace the window in the garage. I was sorry to see the money go but glad to get this done before we have any visitors with Hurricane in their name.
