    By the way, our classes are familiarized in the direction of duos and we do not necessitate duos to spin.

    I think that approaches spam greatness.

    $$$$$$$$$$$$

    I found the tandem I want. The shop has one. It fits us both. In a beeeeooootiful green color we both like. It is no longer made to the same specs (and costs $200 more now, while not being *exactly* what I've always wanted)

    Gonna test ride tomorrow.

    What does it say about my priorities that I am seriously considering a tandem for THOUSANDS of dollars, while still doing laundry in a bucket because I am too damm cheap to buy a washer and dryer?

    Sheesh!

    I can't believe you're still doing your laundry in a bucket, Knot! That's impressive!

    Gave my two steel wash tubs to my brother when we moved, I didn't do laundry in them but my Mom did, we also bathed in them my first 3 years of life.

    Note I type this as I sit in my house with my light weight down coat on because I refuse to turn up the thermostat

    Enjoy the test ride, My DH and I are not tandem material so always glad to hear when someone succeeds in the togetherness

    You mean "Baby" or the purse maker?

    Heh, I was online late last night and I saw those. And thought immediately of you folks!

    Was the purse maker the really long incomprehensible post, or was that Baby? (Hey, it was late at night)
