Quoting: squirrel

some of my projects are not what you'd call normal sometimes but they never say much just lend a hand when I need them even the hubby he'll shake his head but he never tells me Its a stupid idea "

*LOL* You sound like me. *S* Whenever I go to Hubby and bat my eyes and say, "you know, I was just thinking....." He KNOWS he's in trouble because I've come up with another hairbrained idea. *LOL* I'm lucky that Hubby can build pretty much anything I ask him; it's just a matter of how crazy an idea can I think up. *grin*

I think the craziest was to build a ATW (all terrain walker) - the locals affectionately called it "Homer" - for our hillbilly friend who needed a walker to walk, but still enjoyed hiking. The store-bought type wouldn't work on the gravel and mud, so I asked Hubby to build one. It was really neat. Had a seat with storage for a lunch, a pedometer, lights front and back, hand brakes and a foot brake. Our friend loved it and it certainly made cars stop when they saw him coming down the road pushing it. *LOL*

Thanks squirrel and naturelover66....When you have lots of time on your hands in the winter months, it's amazing the hairbrained ideas you can think up. *lol*
