Marriage is tough and staying together is tougher when it isn't love... because there's no emotional/spiritual/chemical bond, just a physical bond for whatever the situation is calling for (kids, appearances, etc). I remember when u originally posted about the divorce. It otally understand and feel the pain especially when u bare the burden of making things amicable for your children. The relief of being able to move forward with life is a huge lift. Keep ur chin up. There's no way to make someone love you. You can only be you and in return expect the other person to be honest with you. Sounds like she's done that. It's hard to say goodbye when so much is invested in the relationship but it's a 100% 2-way street that won't function without both people getting what they need. One side can't give it all and the other take. If you've spoken ur peace and it stands as it is now then Yall have made the correct decision. Like health care the course of treatment is sometimes as painful or more as the original insult. Sounds like you've both raised children that are on a great course in life. Myself being a child of divorce, I've always thought that it's better to be from divorced parents that are able to love me and respect the other patent than to be in a married household where things are always on edge or stressed to where the love for the kids gets clouded by a completely failed marriage. My parents were way more enjoyable after they split and had time to find life and love where they wanted. You sound like a good father. Hang in there. There's no good life or perfect life, there's just life. Live it the best you can.

I can only imagine what you went thru. And I am keeping the house so I'll be around for my daughter daily, and we will both use our stress relievers to get thru this....(her B1 and my SJ). My son already moved out last year, but every sunny Sat or Sunday, or even a nice weekday he'll come by and take out his SN with me. I've always been more involved than my wife with the kids. I'm just a more active individual than she is and my kids have always just wanted to be outside on the water playing, which suits me just fine.

You gotta wonder what that ethanol is doing to your needle and seat and everything else! Ever run ethanol in a lawnmower? It will funk up the carb in a season or two.. i was using only pure gas up until daytona (i was lazy and eager to ride) spent the spring season chasing carb problems until i completely refreshed them with oem parts. Fml. F-ethanolYesterday I learned that 1211 is not ethanol resistant... I used it to seal the top of my thrust tank gasket since it says "fuel resistant". After two weeks it turned to mush and clogged up my fuel filter.

Haha, our family business sells and fixes landscape equipment so I know exactly what thats like. Ethanol has made us a lot of money!
I have not had any issues in my ski with ethanol however. OEM mikuni parts are pretty good I've found.

You should know where to get the pure gas then. Seriously tho, might save you some headaches in the future. I thought it was no big deal, and i always treated my ethanol gas with ethanol treatment, too.
Only place to get pure gas where I ride is about 45 minutes away so it's super inconvenient.

I only run ethanol 93 without putting any extra additives in there and never had a problem. Run 500+ gallons a season for 3 years now

I seem to go through needles every other season, but they are cheaper to replace then the cost of ethanol free gas.

My skis sit with ethanol fuel in them for months at a time. My wife's has gone out twice in the last year and cranked right up with old fuel and no primer even.
Proprietary charger? You mean a USB cable? I charge mine overnight and then plug it into my computer to charge if needed. I use my iphone as a hotspot when I'm at work which kills the battery quick so it's usually plugged into the laptop. FWIW, my Galaxy S5 was the same way.
What is happening is you are being presented with an opportunity to be single and happy again. If I were you, I'd be using my hot pork sword to slice up all the uterus you wish you could have while you were married. I'm almost jealous.

Just got ten yards of stamped concrete done....this is how it looks 24 hours later. So effing pissed right now. It was my step dad and his work buddies who did it. They gave me a huge discount so I shouldn't complain but this is Disappointing.
In the last phase of my motor build. Came in monday morning and my pass side exhaust manifold is gone off of my workbench. Tear the shop apart trying to find it. Finally i call the guy who comes by and gets our scrap metal. He says they only took what was in the scrap barrel from the shop. So tben i call the guy whose house they keep scrap at. He says yeah theres an exhaust manifold sitting right on top of the pile here. I go get it, and this morning i tell our manager lady about the issue. She calls the scrap guys and bitches them out about taking stuff. Come to find out its the owner who is throwing all my stuff out in the first place. Last time it was my radiator now my manifold, last time i ever do a major project at work.
