    Mrs. MiCarl gave me:

    MC rebuild kit
    Alternator brushes
    Carb holder set
    Valve cover gasket
    Clutch lever (one that came with bike is wrong)
    2 turn signals (PO had damaged them)

    I'm a lucky (old) guy :!:

    That's almost as good as getting a bike for Christmas from your wife. We could start a lucky mans club if there are more like us out there.

    OK, what gives? I asked my wife to read that and she stopped after "MC". But in her defence, she completely shocked me with a tank bag for my birthday.

    And I thought Livonia had that magic well with the elixir of eternal youth. I was born and raised in Jackson - you know, land of the frail and aged.

    Happy Belated Birthday!

    It helped a lot that I emailed her my wish list as a Microsoft Word document with HTML links to the appropriate Partsnmore items 8) Made her shopping experience very pleasant.

    We're quite the modern couple. She is sitting about 15 feet to my right, hitting the forums about her scrapbooking hobby. We can email each other any time we want!

    Unfortunately she doesn't know how to put HTML links into her wish list, so I'll have to do some leg work to get her Christmas present.

    Too bad cyber sex isn't all it's cracked up to be :cry:

    Funny, the Linux box I use is only about 5 feet from my wife's XP crate, and we still giggle when we instant message eachother. Wonder how many hops around the world that takes? Silly.

    Insert links - "Copy & paste, Baby, copy & paste."

    Congrats, Same here, If I am specific i.e. a list in which she does not have to do a lot of leg work, then it's a done deal!

    Belated best wishes on your Birthday.

    My wife's not the least bit mechanically savvy. Which can work to your advantage at times. Particularly during the Holiday Season; too.

    "Rick, what are these 'Ratcheting Metric Combination Wrenches' you put on your wish-list for Santa used for?"

    "Oh, those are newly recommended tools to have on-hand if the hot water tank leaks, the toilet over-flows or for any plumbing emergency where the water needs to be turned-off real quickly, before flooding causes permanent damage costing thousands and thousands to repair."

    "I thought we already took care of that with the Torque Sensing Wrench we got last year?"

    "We did. But they changed the recipe of the water a little bit and now it flows faster. Don't blame me. I just want to be ready in case there's an emergency, OK?"

    "Say Goodnight; Gracie"
    "OK ... Goodnight, Gracie!"

    My other 1/2 lets me get anything I want for my bike just so she get to ride.
    And of course it HAS to Be SAFE!!!
    Those new leather bags mean that bike is SAFER!!

    I aint smooth enough to pull off the plumbuing thing. (or maybe she isn't blonde enough)
