I admire how u are not afraid to get a little too.<br /><br />One day maybe you and your dad can show your oldest son when he is ready to drive all the things you learned.

Tell your dad he has a online fan club. 🤩Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04178700758428090529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-49657959949458110742019-10-09T23:50:18.147-04:002019-10-09T23:50:18.147-04:00Yes!!

And each time, I swear it somehow just cranked too fast and went down harder than it should have.
