this is the buggy I told you about us flipping down the black top road and it also has rear ended a tree pretty hard so the back end was warped up worse than I thought so I decided to pull it as straight as I could and put two down tubes back there I think it will be less noticeable that way
I have been eyeballin' a good little 1835 for it !!

No we found out that Angie's mom has breast cancer and she had to have 1 removed and since she kept Ashley for us I had to change to working a weekend shift and keep her during the week but I did get to switch back off weekends after the first of the year . She gets the results of her full body scan tomorrow to see if she needs treatments or if she is good to go so all buggy work and riding has been put on hold for now but what ever it takes to get her healthy . I will give you a call later in the week

Looking good... I have to admire a wife putting up with 2 buggies (although for her!). I can't seem to get one ready; let alone two.
