My friend the metal guy just dropped by with the bike upgrade for Catie! Turns out he's not just deaf, he's also from Bosnia. Man, what a job - to learn English when you can't even hear it properly, and learn a new method of sign language too! Because in each country and even in different regions, there are different dialects of sign. What means "nice" in one country could mean "bite me" in another. His name is Senad, but people call him "Bos" for Bosnia.
Anyway, he brought a great bike - hand and coaster brakes, good tires, all in all solid. He told me that he had 10 bikes, so if I didn't like that one he could bring me another, but this is perfect. I offered him a loaf of fresh bread, but he said it would make him fat! If Catie decides she doesn't like the color I can always spray paint it - it's red with black and chrome, very "boy".
She just informed me that any color is fine, but blue might be cool.
yay, new bike!

A week later he brought a girly bike for Catie, but insisted I keep the boy bike for Daniel. Since then he's given us two smaller sized bikes for Daniel.
