The X-cart
« on: July 09, 2024, 10:40:38 PM »
I was reading the latest WW&F Newsletter and saw mention of the "X-cart". When it's time to store it, where will the X-cart go? Will it be limited to only operate at a snail's pace?

It doesn't strike me as something you'd want to operate much faster than a snail's pace.

I think the new cart’s name has already been decided! We just have to agree on the spelling- X Car Go, Xcargo, Escargot, or…

I just arrived at Wiscasset and just happen to have an extra brand new cup holder just looking for a home. It would look great on xDave.

When I did the “…” it was not my intent to add “Dave” but, rather, someone else could suggest another name. I was saving “Dave” for the future presidential coach. 😉

Should we do gold leaf lettering on the X-cart to make it appear "presidential"?
What–me worry?

Maybe you could carry Humphrey's bicycle (From Joe Palooka)

when the backhoe is not on.

Would that be Presidential Coach enough? ;D ;D

With gold lettering of course. And a cup holder.
