Curb Find - Double Take


I garbage picked a broken Radio Flyer tricycle from a house near my sisters a few towns away. I figured I could order replacement part(s) then I could fix the tricycle for Little Buddy to use in the future. Would you believe the same house threw out another broken tricycle a few weeks later. Same model number. My sister called to ask me if I wanted her to grab it for parts. I of course said yes. We had 2 broken tricycles hogging up the little space in our crowded (with junk) 1 car garage. I finally got around to fixing one tricycle with parts from the other tricycle. Thus, we now have 1 almost perfect Radio Flyer Tricycle. Little Buddy will not be able to ride it for awhile but it's waiting for him. We also went to Toys R Us last night just for fun. Little Buddy loves it there. I saw the exact tricycle. It was $59.99. I was even more thrilled. I love garbage picking!
