I have already failed at that.

LOL
It took me a while but I get it

Put lipstick on it and take it in with you. Or is that Florida?

I bought mine a battery for her Deluxe. I know it sounds a bit extravagant but we started dating on Valentine's Day 1982 so it is a special occasion.

Nice a bad idea to use it as a bait bike and catch slimeballs.

Last Year she got a pretty big Valentines day surprise,, after nearly a year of telling me I was not buying another bike @ my age??? We went to breakfast and left there straight to the dealers to sign the papers on a Heritage Softail, so I figure that was good enough fer a couple years, if I didn't love her I would never have allowed her name on the title and would have bought it for me only. She won't ride but if something happens to me the title is registered to both of us for less hassle when and if the day ever comes.

It is kinda nice after 44 years we really don't get to enthused about one day out of the year expressing our love for each other,,,, we consider 7-24 for 44 years as much more of a special event than over 50% of the couples today, celebrating one day out of a year as a true testament of love for each other, and is proved annually, as most of those will be celebrating this day with someone else in the future, as sad as that is, they will never realize TRUE LOVE between two people that grows for the duration.. For us Valentine's day is kinda like the senior prom,,,,, after you outgrow puberty it's just another day.

Question...I asked my wife if she would stay out in the parking lot with my bike while I went in and watched the movie.

She wasn't there when I got out and I haven't seen her in about three weeks.

Do you suppose she's pissed?

Nah. That's expected behavior, under the circumstances.

We never do much special, but this year I was surprised with a custom book my wife had made, copy of cover below. The whole thing is designed online, uses selected stick figures, lots of customized text. Mine is probably 50 pages. Too late for Valentines but I think it is a very cool idea and may surprise her for her birthday. www.lovebookonline.com.

I was quite surprised and my first question when receiving it was "Who's the old fart with gray hair and gray beard?" But then I happened to look in the mirror and realized its me!
