Sound like you have it figured out.
I had a heck of a wake up call the day or first son was born. "Said to my wife I guess this means I have to make some changes." She just said yep.
That was 47 years ago. Felt the same way when second son was born and daughter. You bet I made adjustment along the way.
Every time I purchased a new bike wife added more life insurance. I knew she was smart.
Retired to help care for a disabled granddaughter . Tossed her in a sidecar and away we went.
In a few weeks have RGL triked then start looking for another RG to put Payton's sidecar back on.
Tomorrow firing up my 28 year old FatBoy and taking it for a ride. Then putting a new front tire on the 750 HD.
Family first always.

Why would anyone give 2 ***** about what someone else thinks of them? You should be more like Rounders. I mean, there's a guy that has exactly zero respect, annoys the hell out of everyone, doesn't even own a Harley, takes all kinds of well deserved abuse here, and doesn't give a rats *** what anyone thinks of him.

That's a very legitimate point my friend! I got into all of these things due to my willingness to wrench/fix just about anything as a poor youngin'. Starting when I was a kid, I picked up beater guitars for $15, Japanese motorcycles in fields for $50, etc. and fixed them up during my free time. So luckily I'm into all of these hobbies much cheaper than most folks would be. I am blessed to have gainful employment though at this point in my life.
