So I had foot surgery Tuesday. Didn't go a smoothly as planned. Just getting to hobble around today. My buddy brought me a walker. Complete with 2 brandy new tennis balls installed. So I motored around with that this morning, and realized after the wife left for work that I could navigate the house ok, but needed both hands to move the walker. Couldn't carry anything...now, seems I remember a windshield bag off an old bike in the garage...scooted out there, found it, zip-tied it on, now I got food, water, phone and meds to go!  Necessity is a mother..... Craig |

If you have some saddle bags around, could be useful.

O2S, trying to listen & behave...you know how that goes...

CajunRider, my wife's been calling me a redneck for years. And I use that term in the best way possible. Last summer I came home with a 30 foot box off a truck, garage door in back and a 3 foot man door up front. She was pissed, says what is that for? I say- It's a perfect shed, and no taxes on it since it's a part of a truck, not really a shed. She still ain't over it.....
