I'm possibly too OCD

[Nortoon_imp]

My wife has OCD. Obsessive Christmas Disorder. She listens to Christmas music year 'round.

But seriously, I think all of us are a little that way when it comes to our rides. I let a buddy use mine to do his riding test for his large-displacement motorcycle endorsement. He over corrected in a turn, ran wide, and scuffed up the hand guard on a sign post. You know, it's the ChicDesign hand guard from Samurider--the one in translucent smoke which matches the wind screen. I had to take the hand guards off because they don't match anymore. if I can buff it out so it looks good, I'll probably put them back on.

That would drive me crazy. I am always tempted to wear my ear plugs when I have to shop at Christmas time.

My wife, her two sisters, and their aunt have Obsessive Christmas Disorder. Every year they say they are going to cut back on the gifts. But every year the aunt's living room is knee deep in presents.

The aunt always gives me a bulky wool sweater which I never wear because for me it really is a "sweater". My wife will not let me tell her I don't wear them, so every year they end up at Value Village (Savers). Over the years some happy thrift shoppers have bought some very expensive clothing at garage sale prices.
