Love that first picture. I rode to my graduation parade in full ceremonial dress, parade boots and all. Got a lot of weird looks.

Feels good don't it. Over 20 years ago we switch to making payments to our self and the cash saved up used buy what we want after the first one every one was paid for the day we picked it up.
