April 2nd, 2018:

	Rough weekend, but it's over with.  I'll leave it at that.

On a happier note, Mrs. IPX gave me the go-ahead to buy a bike I've been 
watching.  It's in great shape for a bike from the 1960s, is relatively 
inexpensive for its condition and shipping from Europe isn't that 
expensive.  I showed it to my wife, and told her it was one of my dream 
bikes.  She saw the price and said "Go for it!".  I told her I'd think 
about it as we're trying to watch expenses, and she said "Just buy it.  
You've been looking for this bike for over a year now, and you'll regret 
it if you don't get it now."

Some days, I swear I've won the grand prize in the marriage lottery!

Now, to keep an eye on that auction.  It ends in three days, so I want to 
make sure it doesn't get away...
