three weeks ago after more dramas with daycare my wife asked me if i wanted to stop working and look after the youngen, so we spend our days breaking the suzie and fixin the suzie. i am one lucky fu**er.

it is a bit of a hassle putting the tyre on but that is mostly because i need to use mag nuts.
