I think you should fix your bus and go to that national park where you can dig up diamonds, then go pan out enough gold to make the rings. All fresh stuff.

Do they have gold in FL? It might start a TV series. Instead of "Ice Cold Gold" in AK it would be "Luke Warm Gold" in FL.

Wow ! that is gorgeous- isn't that an anniversary band? This must be your first wife- you make them earn that ring over 10-20 years.

Tiffany is very reputable, albeit spendy. The actually let you have breakfast there now at the NY store, like the movie. You'll have to take her there.

Hope you 2 kids are happy and make enough babies to fill that bus.

Its not an anniversary band, those go ALL the way around. This is just a wedding band with a bit more pizzazz.

Speaking of round shiny things.....got my 11R22.5s mounted today....they WILL fit up front......plenty of clearance between top of arch and front bumper, and about 2.25" clearance between rear of tire and rear bottom edge of wheelarch. And gained about 2.5" in height.

Also have full clearance in steering from stop-to-stop.

Was going to PM you but couldn't figure out how to PM a pic. The Technology Dinosaur is strong in me.

Off the coast. We have shipwreck gold!
Of course, its all "owned" by the Spanish gov't.

I'm a diver. I don't think the Spanish government would really mind us borrowing a few bars of gold as long as they didn't know about it. I mean, basically it's just a loan anyway. I think they still owe the US for WW2 anyway. They never ponied up, or was that the French? I was wanting to do some wreck diving, but honestly I imagined myself in the Caribbean.

Roxy's pretty happy our Tiffany order came in yesterday, just in time for Valentine's day.

Once the wedding is over we're going all out fixing this shorty up.
Once we dump out Subaru, she'll be driving the van and I'll be daily driving this bus!

Thanks, Chris!!
Roxy and I REALLY hoped to have you but we totally understand!

We took her solitaire engagement ring in for some repair and once she tried the diamond/sapphire combo with it, she was really happy.

Wedding will be pretty quick and simple. But we'll be having a heck of a party.
We've got lots of folks wearing formal Scottish wear, a real Scottish bagpiper, and Sandi is going to perform the ceremony in a tartan!


My kilt is the one on the far right!

Aye. As was ...Curling...and Golf...and Camber Toss. Strange games those Scots play. But they do party well.

I'd have to agree. I've known Scots that could hang with the Aussies, and I didn't even think that was physically possible.
