  • I tried I buy a classic pumper when I was 17, obviously wasn’t on the dept (vol) yet but my brother was.

    My dad said no. Well, really he said “Get the fuck out of here with that, where would you even park it? Not in my driveway.”

    Of course the only reason I could think of at the time was “I can fill up the pool?” which was neither convincing nor a smart response.

    Maybe when I find my farm I’ll get one. Just for fun.







  • We were at the playground and one of the other parents asked me about my bike because my wife told her how much I liked bikes.

    He said he’d need to ask me some questions because of a problem, I told him it was easy and described it and said I could bring my tools by (the playground is like two blocks from me, his house is like 4), and he got excited and asked if I knew what sizes he needed and that he would do it.

    He just kind of got into it after fixing his son’s bike, bought a set of on the go tools to take with him when they all went for a ride, and he just… Kept going with it lol

    So if I’m there doing my thing and another kid needs help he gets his tools out and helps too.

    This community has always been really friendly, and I think things like the portable bike repair just adds onto it! I’m hoping to see more stuff like this happen, though I’m not sure what just yet.

    We did see a few little libraries put in around town at the parks recently, and I’ve been chatting with others about natural lawns, so we’ll see where it goes next!
