Woo For Me

Yeah, totally random, but I am very proud of myself today, I have put together 2 bikes. Yes, believe it or not, I can put together new bikes. I haven't tried fixing bikes, mom says that next summer I'll be the "help" and fix the bikes, assuming I don't have a better job, or a full time job...

And today isn't the first time I've put together new bikes. Maybe a month ago we got 16 new bikes in, dad put together 5 of them, mom put together 1, and I did the rest, over the course of 3 days. That's 10 that I did, we got them on a Friday, Dad and I each put together 1, then Saturday, dad came in early and did 2 before 10 am when I got there, then, dad of course got busy, I did like 7 of them between 10 and 4, mom did one that day, then Sunday, dad and I came in and each did 2 more. I am pretty good at them now. I can't adjust shifting, there are too many little combinations that it could need despite it being brand new...that's a Denny and dad thing...but I can adjust brakes. That's pretty easy.

It only took me about 1 1/2 hours to put together a women's "Suede" and a little girls "Taffy", which was awesome. I guess there is still one bike to go, I think it's another "Suede", maybe this time it's the blue one.

Ok, the end.
