Mid-Life Crisis

[LABS4ME]

Ever go through a mid-life crisis where you just need a change? Well I’ve been cheating on my ol’ partner of 12 years. I kind’a feel bad. I haven’t ‘gone all the way yet’ with my new found love, but I know the day is drawing near. I’ve been checking her out for the last couple months on the internet… She goes by the name LX-5. Man is she sweet to look at and sounds like a complete package too!

Boy the promises she’s been making! A lot more power than I’m used to, no more ‘freezing up’ at the most inopportune times, and the promise of being quieter than I’ve ever experienced with my old gal. Plus, she promised she will be able to see more than all the rest of them out there……. No matter how small it is. All in this sleek little red-headed package with just the right amount of padding where it’s needed. Velcro to take her top off quickly and she’s constantly mesmerizing me with the brightest colors I’ve ever seen on anyone’s face! Plus I can always tell in an instant, if she has enough juice left inside of her to satisfy me with just a quick peek to her backside.

Don’t get me wrong… My old gal is nice… she’s an ’18, goes about her work methodically, not a bad package… maybe a little taller than I like, but all in all not terrible. She does have a couple quirks that I’ve never been able to figure out though… whenever I turn her on, she just sits and wheezes the whole time I’m using her, and just when I really need her the most… she’ll freeze up! I end up giving her a whack up side her head to get her going again… I guess I just started realizing, that this is no way to treat someone you are relying on for your pleasure! Plus she will not give in at all! She always needs to be locked onto the bottom! I’d like to experiment a little, maybe have her try in the middle, or heck, go all the way up to the top, but she refuses every time I even think about it and I end up just switching her back to her normal mode on those occasions. Often I like to start in one spot and maybe move to another, but every time I do this, I have to start all over with her. That can get tiring after a couple times each evening, and to top it off she’s really vague about how much she’s got left in her. She tries to tell me, but I can never get a real accurate reading on where she’s at.

I’ve been feeling really low about all my cheating. On the web late at night, reading the reviews on LX-5, even looking at the pictures and dreaming about how one day we will be together. Well I had enough dreaming! I plunked down my money and I got her last week! She’s everything I imagined. My new gal is sitting there waiting patiently for me. She knows it’s just a matter of time until we ‘hook up’, but she also knows I like to take my time and wait until everything is just right. I also felt I needed to do a little bird hunting first, and then it’ll be game on later in December! I explained I needed to do this full throttle…it’s all or nothing! And guess what? She understands! I promised to get her out in the Metro within a couple weeks and then we would start our ‘up north rendezvous’’.

I was out in the shop the other day and looked up and there sat my ol’ gal… I realized at that moment that I’ve neglected her for the last couple of months. Haven’t given her a cleaning or did anything to charge her batteries since summer, well I took her down, charged her back up and tried to turn her on, but she just started in with that same ol’ incessant wheezing and I ended up putting her back to bed. I went over to my new ‘red head’ and after turning her on, she just quietly sat there waiting to see what she should do next. She was teasing me and I was teasing her… a little kindling for the fire for both of us. I tucked her in and went back in the house dreaming about the 1st day that we get to go all out! I know what she can do and can’t wait to use it!

So ol’ man winter, if you are reading this, do me a favor and blow some cold winds across those lakes. Me and my new Marcum LX-5 have a date with destiny! For those of you that are/were in the same rut as me, look into the Marcum products, I know that you will not be disappointed and they will satisfy all your needs!

Good luck!
