Default Amity's new KW1800

My wife Amity is a remarkable woman. As many of you know, she underwent surgery last week to repair a torn tendon in her right foot. Did you also know that crutches are no longer the appliance of choice. Her orthopedist recommended a "knee walker" So, less than a week after surgery, she has her new wheels and will have them for two more months. I've been trying to figure out how to strap an 1800CC engine to the thing. Have a look if you wish

Default Cracked Me Up

Loved the music & so glad to see that she's obviously getting around great. Although was somewhat concerned while operating a 4 wheeler and drinking a glass of Ripple. The clothes basket, the broom.... You go girl!!!

And instead of an 1800 CC engine how about a Jet Fueled Starter. It'll mount under the seat perfectly. Should get her 0 to 60 in under 3 sec.

Wow that's a pretty nifty piece of equipment. Amity seems to have so much energy. When she's done at your place send her over and she can start working on mine!

The only thing is if she comes over to my place she'll have to pour two glasses of wine.

Amity is very remarkable and is NO little old lady from Pasadena. Your mean, Jan, she's wonderful. I wish I had her energy (and figure)....

F16, can you put that Jet Fueled Starter in my cart... Its awfully slow especially up the hills in Hadley. All our neighbors are honking at me.

Nice, very nice. Don't let the kids in the hood see that or they will want one for Christmas. Then again they will see older folks using it and would not get caught dead with it. Really like the overhead shots, great effects.

BTW I like the OKO call. To bad you could not put up something over the back fence the field.

That was great and so much better than crutches. I see you were able to keep her working with that gadget. If she was on crutches you would be doing all that work.

Send us a video after she figures out how to wash the car and clean the pool.

Then I'll be impressed.

Ripple?!?!?!?!?! OMG haven't heard or thought about that stuff in eons!!

On another note; that is one heckuva contraption!! How does her knee feel? I like the jet fueled starter concept.

Amity you ROCK!!!
