Thanks for all of the thoughts, guys. While I'm bummed I won't make Carlisle (especially to see the proper Hoopty return!!), I'm sure I'll have my hands full about then with Karen in the last weeks of her pregnancy.
Cory, I still pop in every couple of weeks, but I changed jobs over the summer and it's been going absolutely out straight ever since, plus getting the nursery ready, plus trying to finish up about 982038430 other things before the baby arrives and I have no free time for the next 2-3 years or so...
Who should I send my raffle items to once I finish them? Bruce?
I expect lots of pictures from Hotfoot this year - she's had a year to practice with her Nikon!
Oh, by the way, my sister gave me her stroller. This thing is like the Maybach of strollers - it comes with a hinge and joint lubrication kit, it's own repair kit, a tire pump, and a calibrated tire pressure gauge. It has a suspension on the front wheels, too. There very well may be flames painted on it by the time the little guy shows up. ;-)
Having said that, Cory, that vintage buggy looks pretty sweet. I'll talk to the bride... thanks!
