There could be lots of cussing....

My assignment today is to assemble this bicycle.

Things could get interesting. I'm not a total klutz with tools. And I've assembled my fair share of bicycles along the way. But I've been known to come away from the experience bloodied.

The box boasts easy assembly. I'll let you know how it goes.

I'm lucky I live too far away from my nephews to be roped into these kinds of things! Good Luck!

I roped myself into this one.

It's for an Angel Tree kid. This little guy asked for a bike, when all the other kids were asking for sweaters and gloves and hats and Candy Land. My heart just melted. I thought, "Who is going to buy this kid a bike?" So I looked at Courtney with the biggest, sappiest, puppy-dog eyes I could muster, and asked if we could pick him this year.

Cool on the bike! Bikes are a gift for life ...

Good for you both (and the kid).

Awww, Tropppp! Good for you. Even better for the kid.

Start drinking early, btw.

You can do this Trop! Usually the only assembly is putting the front tire on and straightening the handlebars, then tightening them. A couple of wrenches and you're set!

It's funny, for some reason I read you as sorta 'tough' but buying that kid the bike is waaaayyy too sweet to keep that image in my head any longer. Ya softie you. LOL

Amanda would laugh to read that. So would Court. I am a complete push-over.

That is so sweet that you're doing it for an angel tree kid.
