That poor girl has had WAY more than her share of grief this summer (and as her mom, you can digress all you want). . .<br /><br /><i>(*sigh*)</i> OK, the pump. . . I went about ten years hardly riding at all, and when I started back up 4 years ago, I just picked up with the equipment I had on hand, which didn't include a frame pump by that time. So I just never got around to getting a new one (and with maybe one flat every other year, it was never driven home to me how much I really needed one). But, this summer, I've had ample prodding from the Universe that this is a necessary item, and, as I noted to Sailor above, the new one is on order. . .Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16389193386974951036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3449788532742031864.post-50633975673433353752010-08-28T20:58:46.490-04:002010-08-28T20:58:46.490-04:00i missed my family reunion this year due to calyps...i missed my family reunion this year due to calypso's FIRST hospitalization (doesn't seem right that she's just had her second this summer, but i digress). <br /><br />the turtle hatching sounds positively magical! what a neat experience.<br /><br />the presta angel is miraculous indeed. really. but dude, not frame mounted pump? really? you need one of those.limehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17259558876349307173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3449788532742031864.post-33938633088829157142010-08-24T16:05:05.326-04:002010-08-24T16:05:05.326-04:00Cocotte - Well, just for the sake of saying so, it...<b>Cocotte</b> - Well, just for the sake of saying so, it was about 20 years for us, from when my grandma died, to when we started having reunions again. . .<br /><br /><b>Sailor</b> - <i>(*sigh*)</i><br /><br />Yes, I know she's a saint.

How sad is that? I'd be game about putting something together, but I'm one of the folks living nowhere near anyone else, so it doesn't seem feasible.<br /><br />I'm not sure you could pay me to eat turtle. I can barely stomach turkey.<br />Amazing bicycle tire story!Bijouxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11577723506036164914noreply@blogger.com
