Getting closer to bike ownership, but will still be awhile.

Captain Morgan · 03-27-2009, 12:43 AM

I'm basically debt free again. Will be completely so in June (other than the mortgage, obviously). I plan on quitting my second job for the summer (and maybe a couple months thereafter), then will most likely pick it up again in the winter and start saving up for a bike. I sure hope to be among the ranks of you all soon, but I will be doing my best not to go back into debt for anything else. I hope like hell the economy lets me keep my job until I find something better!!

Oh, and I got internet today. Went with the slowest speed Time Warner offers just to save a little extra cash each month. I don't download much so don't really need the super fast shit anyway. Besides, that's $35 extra per month that can be saved toward the bike I want!!

Won't have a bike by then, unless I win a few grand playing poker. Kind of tough to win huge amounts when you hardly ever play, though.

Looking forward to seeing all of you guys and girls again.
