Trike Frustrations
I putz around several times a week questing for a trike. The trikes I like cost over $1000, which is just plain silly. Below model is expensive but at least it is less than a grand. Piss poor maximum user weight (250 pound) which I assume means my weight plus any weight in the baskets. Cost for a 3-speed model with shipping is ~$620. ( Read more... )

I plan to move in January. FEMA is paying for January rent + deposit. That means I should have my January Social Security $$ plus what I would have paid for January rent (~$750 total) with which I can easily pay for the trike above.
AND, I should have $130 left over.
I hope to be able to pull-in a thousand $$ or so (maybe more) between Yule and the end of the Sugar bowl.
And that will alow me to pay Tony & Rosie about a month of my urrent rent to secure me a wagon parking space for all of 2013,
AND maybe even enough left over to buy me a new washer & dryer.
HAHAHAHA I living in the past! Washers & dryers are a lot more expensive than I thought.
I did find a spiffy Samsung 4.2 cu. ft. High-Efficiency Top-Load Washer ENERGY STAR® sold by Sears for under $800 with delivery charge.
