Hello from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.

you have the makings for a great grandpa , I had to wait till I was 75,  now he is 10 years old,

75 minus 10 equals 65...hmmm, how's my math so far?

I think I have 14 grandchildren, and several great-grandchildren. Hard to get them all to stand still for a count.
...my wife even knows all their names!
I do know my teenaged daughter's name, most days.

Wait a minute!
You gotta pay a fee to cross a bridge with a tire?
I'd try tossing it over....or put a string on it, throw it in the bay and casually stroll over the bridge holding the string.

By the way....many of us were thinking the same as your dear wife!
Stop riding on threads - and 1 bleedin' mm does NOT qualify as tire tread!
Something happens to you we won't get any more reports on that pretty scooter of yours!

How do you say Knucklehead in Canadian?
