Before the ship got to Hawaii, I ordered a Harley for the hubby. Years ago, when the girl was very small and money was very tight, we couldn't afford to keep fixing his salvage-titled bike. I promised him that we'd get another when I made chief, which I thought was a pretty safe bet at the time.

Well, we waited until the car was paid off, were about to get his motorcycle, and the car got stolen. Car payment returned. Now, a couple of years later, the extra sea pay is enough to pay for the bike.

So I ordered a spiffy black Sportster.

We picked it up yesterday. He hasn't stopped grinning since.
