tires
sheehs. b's been taking a new route to school. apparently he rides through a thorn patch. they've been chewing up his tubes. we got some heavy duty thorn resistant tubes. but they're no match for these thorns. they're shaped a whole lot like a push pin. i guess their plan is to stick in some animal's foot and tag along for the ride. at least until the animal bleeds to death. then it's decaying flesh becomes fertilizer. voila! an excellent plan. so anywho. i *suggested* he go back to the route he used last year that didn't involve riding through the thorn patch. that was before the thorn resistant tubes went flat. i'm no longer suggesting. next repair comes out of his allowance from mowing the lawn. oh wait. g's doing that for a cub scout merit badge. i guess it's coming out of his piggy bank.
