so I decided to start a thread about our newly arrived P1K-5 non-deluxe build. I, like most of you, have great aspirations about improving the looks and capabilities of an already formidable machine.
Being that I don't want to end up in hot water with my wife for spending the purchase price on bolt-on accessories, I did the first, and I don't mind saying brilliant idea of naming our rig, Wanda's Honda. Not only does it have a rhyming quality to it, Wanda happens to be my wife's name! (Good thing it didn't go with a different brand) with that said, my plan was to tell her about the naming of buggy after her and having her embrace my dreams of best blinged out P1K-5 non-deluxe in the world! Sadly to say, this isn't what happened.
Last Sunday morning, while letting my wife sleep in, I made coffee and snuck a junk food sweet roll before waking up my laptop to search for accessories. Our dogs were giving me the eye because they knew that the sweet roll wasn't on my diet, so to insure their silence, I gave each one of those bacon looking dog treats we keep on top of the refrigerator.
With the junk food sweet roll devoured, and the wrapper safely hidden under other wrappers from the healhfood store, I was ready to sit at my laptop with my second cup of coffee. I type in Honda Pioneer 1000-5 into the Google search bar and let the power of the Internet do its thing. In a flash of a secon the screen is full of webpages to click on. Gone are the days of looking at Sears catalogs, JC Wittney or magazines to help with ideas for additions to your latest obsession, there are endless ideas.
As I feverishly click from one page to the next, movement from the dogs distracts me from my quest. I look up from the computer screen to see my lovely bride strolling into the living room. "Have you fed the dogs yet?" She said with a surprisingly cheerful tone. I responded with "I was just about to" She moves towards the pantry and said the next positive thing "don't get up, I'll feed them and then I can make us breakfast, you haven't eating anything yet have you?" I panic, do I lie to my wonderful wife? "No honey, just coffee" just then, our chocolate lab looks up from her bowl with a surprised look on her face, looking at me and over at the trash can, back to me, and back at the trash. My wife is busy cleaning an area on the kitchen counter, so I take the opportunity to look at the lab and towards the bacon looking dog treats, back and forth. She got the message.
"What do you want for breakfast dear?" She asked. "How about bacon and eggs, and if it's not too much of a problem, biscuits and gravy" "We can't eat that, I'm thinking steel cut oatmeal with fresh berries" Can someone tell me what the difference is between steel cut and regular oatmeal is?
As we sit at the dining room table, eating this gooey mass with strawberries and blueberries, my wife asked what I had been doing on the computer. I explained that I had to tell her some exciting news, where she sat here spoon down and looked at me with some curiosity. "You see babe, some of the guys on the Honda side x side website name their Hondas and I thought I should name ours!" Curiously changed to concern when I saw her tell tell eyebrow movement, so, not wanting to lose her enthusiasm, I said "I named the buggy, Wanda's Honda!" And don't you think Wanda's Honda should be the best one around? Now is when the left eyebrow goes to new hights, causing wrinkles on her forehead so severe I may not have recognized her if I had just walked into the room. "What is it you think you need for your toy?"
I'm in trouble, this isn't going the way I had planned "Baby,this isn't for me, it's for us. And, the UTV is named after you" " What do you want to buy, you have a windshield, what more can you need?" I see an opening to bring her around to my way of thinking so I go for it. "Honey, baby, dear, we are needing a top to protect us from the sun, a winch in case we get stuck, better bumpers for your protection, more durable tires so you don't get a flat on you way to yoga class and there are more, but remember, I'm doing this for you!"
"Ok," she said "I was going to do this later today but it I need to show you some things" So off she goes, leaving her half eaten steel cut oatmeal and comes back with the "Book".
When the dogs saw my wife bring the "Book" into the room, all three went out the doggie door, leaving me to get this conversation back on track without their help.
Sitting down, without that pre steel cut oatmeal cheery look on her face, my wife asked "so how much is all this stuff that you say is for me?" Well sugar, I have been working hard to find the best because deserve the best, and $2500 will provide you with the basic necessities and a good start on what will be the best P1K-5 non-deluxe in town, because, something with your name on it should be the best.
$2500, for a start, and this is for me? Now she has a pincil and paper next to the "Book" Where did she get the pincil and paper? I hadn't seen her bring them into the room? Where had se been riding them? Perhaps within the deep crevices of the wrinkles of her forehead? She starts rapping the pincil on the table as she thinks.
Ok, I will write down $2500 and we will go through the budget for the month and maybe if there is anything left over, maybe, and that's a big maybe, you can get something that supposedly I need. Opening the book, She starts with our income, next the normal household expenses, followed by car payments and insurance, food and credit card bills, but then comes what I consider questionable expenses like daycare for the dogs, yoga and her karate classes. All the numbers are tabulated on the income side and all the expenses. More tapping of the pincil and she scribbled a number on the paper, where she turned the paper to where I can see it. This is how much you can spend on Wanda's Honda this month.
Now with my budget for the month I head back to the laptop, I do some more searching and come to my question for all of you. What kind of air fresheners are you hanging from your review mirrors? There are a lot of them with different smells and shapes and I'm not sure which way to go?
