Damn ... a set of tires so I could sit down and have dinner in the main lounge. geez ...
But, I guess it's one of those things you have to do. I haven't bought a new suit in 15 years.
The actual coat and pants wasn't too bad. But the damn shirt, tie(s), suspenders, socks and dress shoes was over the freaking top. It's a good thing the sales clerk was hot and wore a loose cut blouse ...

What's the occasion?
Besides, even in a suit, they might not let you in the main lounge......

I vote for going with a slightly used truck, she'll appreciate that so much more because you're being "thrifty". You decided to sacrifice getting a new truck so you can spend money on a few things you wanted to get her.
You can quote me if you like.

After your wife mentioned you being buried in that truck, that's what concerns me.
You still didn't mention the occasion, or did I miss it?

Not yet.... Depends on his attitude these days. I did physically launch him out of the computer room a few weeks ago after he snuck in and bit me when I wasn't looking. He's been much better behaved after realizing that I really am bigger than him.
Happy Anniversary Mitch!

Mitch, not to be a poo head but we have had three deaths (just in the past year) here with people riding ATV (4 wheel) without helmets.
Please be careful... we'd hate to lose you.
