Mid Life Crisis?

Been lazy, knee still giving me fits, haven't been able to do much hiking or bike riding. I did buy a side by side 4wheeler, not because the knee was hurt, I actually had been considering it for a few years.  The wife says it is my mid life crisis toy. Funny thing is, we were headed back from visiting our daughter in Arkansas and all of a sudden she is pulling into this 4 wheeler dealer in Mississippi. This was 2 weeks ago.  We ended up stopping at four dealers so a normal 7 hour drive took us 10.  I saw Yamaha's. Artic Cats, Polaris's,  Honda's and Benchee's.  I almost bout a Polaris 800 Ranger but wanted to look at a John Deere RSX 850i  before making my final decision.  I ended up buying the John Deere last Saturday.  Oh, and she wanted a regular 4wheeler big enough for both or use (think Polaris Sportsman 500 etc) but I told her I had rather have a side by side.  After riding it a few times she is now pleased with it and agrees that for doubling up this one is much more practical.  She also says it will be handy to be able to give Granny (my mom) a ride over to our house when there is snow on the ground...We live in Alabama...  Here she is giving Granny a ride in it.  This was before I even got to drive it other than a short test ride in the parking lot at the dealership.

Anyways, enough about my mid life crisis. A friend commented on an old Facebook posting from Feb of 2009 (over 4 years ago)  After reading it, it looks like not much has changed.  I still need to loose 50 lbs.  My kids are now both married and moved off a ways so we don't get to see them much.  Here is the post I made 4 yeas ago.
