You guys are funny... mikej and bomber thanks for the sentiment... bubba... not sure what you are suggesting but... oh nevermind.  As far as jobs go, this is a good one... but living in bum-f*** nowhere is the problem. I mean, of course b-f nowhere is excellent in the summer with the riding, but it sucks in the winter...  five to six months out of the year no riding... unless you are part polar bear or completely insane or both.

I regret not finishing college as well. It has made a couple jobs I wanted impossible to get based on corporate policy of that company  Never mind the fact that I could've done a great job for them, without a degree(even if it was in culture of South America or something else totally unrelated) no interview,no offer, no way. I am lucky to have found sales, or did sales find me? I have always been able to make OK money and have fun at my job. I have always thought being a lawyer would've been fun too! If pressed, I can sling shit with the best of them! Just try to keep the bike Char, I don't know if we can live with you without it! Ride to the edge! Dave Iowa HD/Buell (Buell Cycle Center) | ||

Which is more appealing.... A cute tree hugger  or A cute tree hugger that rides a Buell   | ||

It all comes down to setting priorities. All of us who own a bike have decided it's a priority. I mean, none of us really need a bike but we have made the decision that we want one (maybe more than one, for some people) and are willing to give up something else to have it. It's a priority. You are the only one who can decide whether owning a bike is enough of a priority that you are willing to give up something else. You can own a bike and still work on an advanced degree. You might have to live under a bridge, complete the course work over a longer time period or whatever. Simple!  Anyway, good luck with whatever you decide. | ||

Char, Rules of Life as taught to me by Buellnuts WWBD (What Would Bob Do): 1. Money aint everthang. 2. Do what makes you grin. 3. Life's too short to let a job get to you. They's plenty more out there, all of which will support you and your bike. | ||

And Bomber sez...I am a legally ordained mister in the Mother Earth Church, headquartered in San Louis Obispo California Ok Bro...Now I know what your Tax Dodge is.  Loved those matchbooks they gave away in the student unions back in the 60's. "Be a Minister" or "Be a Locksmith". Was kind of a rollover if you screwed up and survived the draft. LMAO Looks like you became the minister and I ended up selling to locksmiths for five years. Oy Vey...wonder what's next? | ||
| Whatever |
Well, Seems I have started quite the thread. This pleases me... and that Bomber is a pagan minister is way cool... guess I knew we both had the same vibe... he he heeeee!!! I am probably going to wait a year to apply to graduate schools. I can't afford to send in a half-a$$ed essay if I want to be accepted and be eligible for money. I also need time to create fun for myself up here, since I have told myself three years before I walk away from this job. I don't hate winter, I just hate the three weeks before Solstice... it is cold and dark and depressing... Bomber can you make the sun come back??? I will pay you to do it... On another topic, I decided this morning to submit 'my longest ride' story on my trip in August (to Milwaukee and North Carolina). I did not acheive iron butt status, but I came close (800 miles in a day on the M2)... (getting lost in Cincinati didn't help...). So maybe I will be able to entertain myself over the next few months for a FUELL article? Hahahhahahah... got snow last night, this morning is very nice and misty and white out.  | ||

Char: There's lots of enviro work down here on the Gulf Coast, and NO SNOW!! r-t | ||
| Whatever |
ok, send me some classifieds....  | ||
| Whatever |
oh my god !!! look at that hat you have on there in your profile !!! LMFAO... | ||
| Mikej |
Getting lost is always good fodder for a good article, makes it real. Let's see, in that trip you encountered the Newfie (already published), the Bear (good nicknames can always lead to good stories), a beast named Bubba who apparently was once a hairdresser turned Buell seller (if someone can't come up with a story there then get in touch with me and we'll work up a screenplay script and make millions), a guy named Spidey who does wonderfull sommersaults in BattleTrax finishes (don't shoot me Spidey because it was a good finish), and the list goes on and on. Shoot, I just wrote a third of your article for you right there.  Start typing and send it in.  One of us should get published, but by the looks of things it doesn't look like it will be me anytime soon (I can't even get a rejection letter). | ||

Nev -- ya figured it out . . .. after getting all the paperwork, I THEN found out that the only income you could declare tax free was that revenue generated from your ministerial work -- needless to say, I've not any accounts off-shore filled with lucre from spiritual work | ||
| Mikej |
Bomber, You interpreted the rules incorrectly or misdefined ministerial work. Your presence at the workplace is your ministerial field and the works you do there are in support of your leading example as a man of the cloth of your particular devotion or denomination. But, as always, YMMV, and I claim no responsibility nor accountability of this matter should you choose to consider my words as anything more than pure BS-gesticulating not meant to imply any wrongfull considerations on anyones parts relative or ir-relative to any taxish issues not forthwith nor without any irregularities within the loopholeish legal mesh of the tax system structures of these United States of America, the land of the free, and the home of the resourcefull. By the by, there be chapels in the graybar hotel as well should any considerations you may decide to follow become a little more problemetic than what was hoped for. Best to set up a pulpit in the back yard and take donations in a can to apply for regular holy crusades on twisty backroads proclaiming a throaty roar of revivalism in hooliganism via Buellish meanders in the backroads of wisdom and wonderment. (I have no idea what any of that meant.) | ||

Neither do I, made my head hurt to read it !!!!!!!! CJ  | ||

Mike... Make a note to yourself... 'must take medication EVERY day...'  | ||
| Bomber |
Mike -- yer right, of course -- howsomever, my research indicated a fairly good chance of a stay at Chez Greybar if I strayed from the straight and narrow . . . .. also, at the time, I felt that my life had had quite enough intereference from the Federales, and decided I wished no more, thank you very much . . .. at this remove, however, my status as a really boring suburban middle-aged white male/husband/dad MAY indicate that I have more room to maneuver these days . . . .. I may have to reconsider my calling . . . . . put your HAND on the puke can . . .. get up and RIDE! Can I get an AHHHHHHHHmennnnnnah? | ||
| Mikej |
AaaaaaaMennnnnnnnnnnn, and allright let's get the show on the road. Charlotte, Only meds are aspirin and coffee, perhaps I'm low on the latter and perhaps CJ needs some of the former.  With snow forecast for tomorrow and a paper to present tonight and a test tonight as well and two final exams next week and two papers to do for next week as well and a whole slew of stuff to do at home on the 100 year old house is it any wonder that the mind meanders a bit at times? Hey, Bomber, an idea, the church down the street from me is for sale, good size, close to the lake, would make for a dandy tax Okay, I'll stop now.............. ... --- ... ...... | ||
| Bomber |
sounds like a place to remake Alice's Restaraunt, with a midwestern twist! what a great idea! also could serve as the corp hq of the Indian/Cannodale/SuperX company you were touting earlier . . . . .. . . woooo hoooooo! | ||
| Whatever |
Church of the Holyrolling Buelligan Pagans !!! Yeah, what Mike said, I am there as the first buddhist-pagan-buelligan nun...  . I can be celibate (when I want to). Mike, what the HECK ARE YOU DOING ON THE BADWEB WITH ALL THAT GOING ON... get back to work!!!  | ||
| Mikej |
I was ten lines deep into writing a song and then figured I'd better just delete it and get back to work. Would have worked real good for the opening sermon song. Get the place really jumpin' and thumpin' and ready to ride. Nice thing is there are already signs up in the neighborhood for making the streets all one-way during Sunday church hours, fast in, fast out. The neighbors would hate us. Gots more thinkin' to do. Charlotte, That ain't even the half of it all. | ||
| Spiderman |
>>>that does not include you Spidey...). Thank God | ||

Dammit, Bomber, this is getting to be too much fun!  You can get anything you want... r-t (unofficial BWB archivist) | ||

And Char, this one's for you...  You can leave your hat on... r-t | ||
| Cj_xb |
Who's the long haired hippy dude ??? CJ | ||
| Mikej |
You don't know Arlo? Seems we've got some edumacatin' to do then. | ||
| Road_thing |
CJ's way too young to remember Arlo... ...wish I could say that about myself! r-t | ||
| Cj_xb |
Thanks RT, brownie points for you !! I'm just so relieved, cause for a minute I thought it was Bomber, only younger and with long hair !! CJ  | ||

There's more on the link. Good stuff. | ||

Seems appropriate to the thread:

| Bomber |
and your earrings! Thang . . .I'm think that, along with a good friend in San Diego, you are in the category of "I'm glad I don't live right down the street from that guy, cuz we'd be in the hoozcow together in no time." |
