More fun...maybe, maybe not...depends on how many rusted bolts I have to drill out/grind off in a night. And I wouldn't be with her if she wasn't fun to be with.
More important...yes
More expensive...my girlfriend has expensive taste, so yes
Is the bronco going to be disappointed if I break plans with it? nope

Looks like the girlfriend wins.

Dinner was good and she paid which makes it even better. I hope to work on Bronco sometime later today after prepping dirtbike for upcoming Baja ride.

Can't complain with that. I'm grilling up some Redfish tonight so at least this dinner date wont cost me any money...unless you count the cost of a guided fishing trip ;D...which although the weather didn't cooperate, was still worth it. Give Chuck Scates a call if you dont have a boat and ever want to fish the Texas Gulf Flats.

thats why mine is barely drivable with the projects only 75% done. I get started on something, wheeling season comes up, I make it so its drivable and never get back to finishing up the projects! oh well.....

Well, I had a long spurt working on the bronco through the winter but now that I can work outside the new house is taking priority. It does suck but I really enjoy having the house nice too.

Don't get burned out. I have doen that a couple times and picked up other expensive hobbies. The Bronco bug always bites the hardest though.

Bought mine in 2004. Drove it 80 miles and it stranded me in BFE, Arkansas. Ended up shipping it home and started tearing it down. Got it started last fall. Still got lots of stuff I want to add, fix, tweak and change.
