Not sure if street legal can ride on both. Best to contact a cart store. FYI! Street legal has to have insurance on it like a car and has to be registered. This means more $$$$$$.

In Ohio where I grew up, consideration for anothers viewpoint, interest in seeing that others were doing well and being joyful for their happiness was considered a very good thing.

In other parts of the world, I stongly believe that some kids were taught that attitude was a weakness.

Still learning about stuff.

I think nitehawk was being sarcastic. Or maybe tired of hearing from me. I post my events for two reasons....one is because I know that some of you are following me on here and are interested in my progress. The second reason is because I think posting what it's like to come to TV and build is very valuable info for the next people who will do the same. I just may post that I did something that they forgot to do and I hope that would be helpful. It's a long and sometimes stressful process, so if I can help anyone along that's my goal. Plus we are just so darned excited that we just can't hide it!

I enjoy reading your posts...keep posting! I have only been here for six weeks now and still feel that same excitement. I can't wait to get up in the morning. Now if I had to get up and mow the lawn, clean the driveway, etc. I might not feel the same way! Keep us up to date!

Happi- I've heard if you go gas the new Yamaha with EFI is the best.
Better MPG, less smell and less noise.
You'll have to update us when you get it.
Did you get the pool from the builder?
This will be our first pool and have decided after talking with friends with pools in FL to go regular water and not salt as I first thought.
Going with solar too.
9 out of 12 friends in various areas of FL (Naples, Punta Gorda, Ft Myers, New Smyrna Beach...) suggested it this way and also suggested (for pools) that a South exposure was best followed by West.

Congrats on choosing! I think your posts are great and I knew you would be posting yesterday to share your final decision, I was looking for it! You thought long and hard about what would work best and I am sure others lament on this decision just as you have. May you always ne happy, healthy and blessed in your new home and enjoying every minute of designing, planning and furnishing!

Are you going to be checking on availability of sink hole insurance while you are there?

Default sinkhole insurance

We got sink hole insurance for $30 when we took out our new policy for our Hacienda at Mission Hills CYV. It was offered to us, no problem. I think it was about $3 for content coverage for damage from a sink hole on top of the $30.

I am happy now for you as this is a good kind of stress to have but an exciting time for you.

This is useful for us wannabees as it gives us an idea of how things will be when first arriving in TV. It could make one's head spin with things to do but it will get done.

I'm sure you will be "happinow" when you are finished and wake-up with a cup of coffee, a relaxed mind and decide what is the fun thing you are going to do that.

Best Wishes.
