At the moment I am making one hell of a stink in the bathroom.

Amazon prime handles my free shipping. Capital one platinum visa has not had one issue and I got the pen card for when we were in Europe over the summer and did not have one issue. No fees and decent rewards. The best rewards I feel is out REI Visa. I got it for the wife to charge all the baby stuff on knowing we would have a lot of things to buy and the medical out of pocket. It will be purchasing me a kayak from REI at the end of the year with the rewards earned.

Amazon Prime is $100 a year and you're stuck using amazon. Great if you want a toaster, but you can't buy any fashion on Amazon.

Rain??! That wasn't in the forecast. No ski today, so instead I'm going to the mall and buying a new wallet

Figured out an over charging issue I had for a while...picked up a new ARCO alternator, in the instructions it said that in many OMC installations, this happens because the sense wire gets its voltage from a wire in the ignition wiring coming from the dash switch, and high resistance can cause over charging. The solution is to not use the factory sense wire but to run a jumper wire from the Alt B+ to the sense terminal. I post this because some Volvos made during the joint venture era may have very similar engine wiring to the OMCs of the time....since many dash volt meters are not that accurate, you might not notice this....

I checked the batt voltage at the B+ terminal and it was just about battery voltage, but at the sense terminal with the ignition switch on it was about 9.8 volts, its supposed to read battery voltage. So because of the resistance in that circuit, the regulator thinks it has to charge the battery and it can be over charged...

I am not a woman. And evidently you are. I wear polo,Brooks brothers and Jos A Banks. I have a wife that shops and she knows my sizes and what I like. I do not like malls and crowds of people in malls. So "fashion" is not my top tri pritty in life. Evidently you women in Floridia are worried about your looks. :P

Seems redundant to me.

If you spend all of your money on a wallet, you no longer require a wallet :P :?: :)

$500 for a wallet is nothing. It costs me $100 a day to ride the jet ski, and another $60 the following day to ride the boat in gas on a typical weekend. I haven't been on either but once in the last few weeks instead of every weekend. I've saved the money :)

The man logic checks out, as does the math, but I am still confused.

Perhaps if I know more about this wallet. Is it made of titanium, have a retractable jack knife, compute complex equations?

There is no way a folded slice of leather with integrated pockets specifically designed for credit cards could possible fetch more that $100 at the very most. Not in a sane world anyways :D

But it has "L"s and "V"s all over it! Must be worth $500.
