Long-suffering spouse is always in favor of boat spending. If it weren't for her, we wouldn't have a boat and she has to comfort me every time we look at the numbers or make a big purchase. I remember our first visit to the sailmaker for a new genoa. We talked specs for a while and then she says, "Don't you think we should be looking at an asym too?" The room went quiet.

On the budget thing, LSS is a mental health professional and knows damn well I'd be on meds for anxiety if it weren't for compulsive and heavy exercise, so she considers it a good deal.

I need her to talk to my LSS. She makes me seem like a spendy guy.

Also, this LSS - I can put it together from context, but what's the acronym mean?

I'll admit, I'm a Covid cyclist. It had been about 10 years since I had last been on a bike, and when the lockdown started and it got too hot for hiking, I told her I wanted to get a bike. First visit to the LBS and she was shocked at the prices of bikes. Very, very much against me spending $1k+ on a bike, and suggested that I look at a pawn shop.
Two things happened - our son got on her saying that she was always complaining that I don't exercise enough so she should be happy that I wanted to, and she saw that the bike I was looking at also came in light purple and she had to have one also. Three months later we also bought road bikes to go with our original hybrids, and we are both hooked.
God bless my son.

There's the argument for taking up sailing as a sport - it make s what you spend on bikes seem like nothing!

Lance or some other big name said: Show me a dedicated cyclist, and I'll show you someone that's riding away from something.
The money I spend on my bicycle cycles is a mere pittance in comparison.

Same here. I gotta burn off the bad stuff that accumulates in my body from long periods of stress. I find that the best time to think about my problems, is when I'm on the bike, the stress that creates is excellent fuel for mad sprints and big ring climbs.

Friday the 13th used to be scary but in 2020 it’s like single-car incident in a Talladega race that’s already had six Big Ones.
