Don't Blink! You'll miss the GOOD Weather!

OK, maybe a LITTLE over exaggerated, but close to the truth.  Started the day off riding to work in the rain (it's ok I'm sweet but I ain't gonna melt) then about 1 PM the sun peaked thought he temp rose about 20 degrees and it was GORGEOUS!! 
aaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnddddd then?
Big honkin' ugly clouds rode in and it was back to sh...ick!
BUT!  We were pumping out bikes!  Matt finished up a couple re-pairs, then opted to do a special, as it was to humid and cold to do paint on the Redneck 3-wheeler (yes folks, customer order, camouflage paint, mountain tires, and....a gun rack!  Would I lie?) I put out a freakin SWEET Mongoose GSX 9.0!! O>>M>>G!! It was bought new in '05 for, like $400.00, ridden for a month and put in a SHED!?  only to see the light of day (along with three other WICKED nice bikes) last week, when they were brought here to be sold.  And once the grime, grease, rust and debris was removed? WOW!!  Like Bloody NEW!
and this is not your typical "Wal-Goose", OH NO.  High end this one!  with pretty much top of the line (for the time) Shimano components!  Fully re-furbed all new cables, shoes..the like!  Man o' MAN!  It's the Bees Knees!
Have done some MAJOR buying this week!  Have picked up SEVERAL sweet deals!  Many BMX's, some already done and out (sorry, I am about to test the air speed velocity of this FREAKIN PITA camera that refuses to work, so no pics until tomorrow) also have picked up a BOFFO Old School Raleigh Big Boy 10 speed that is going to be Hybrid-nated, a middle of the road Mongoose DXR-AL, Men's another TWO three wheelers,  two old school ladies cruisers, a nice aluminum frame 3 speed (with a freakin "Sturmey/Archer" hub....wow!) Men's cruiser, and bangers GALORE!  So be watching the Space...man!  Zombie-Boy lost his muse and had to depart us early today.  I think he's recovering from to much hard riding this past weekend.  I mean on a bike...yea..that's it!
Angie has been hanging in the hood helping with the many interested folk whom paid visits today.  Thanks SO MUCH to the young man who upon learning of the K2, excitedly called and trekked all  the way here (via PSTA) from Saint Petersberg to snag it!  Smart Man!  Many, many miles of merriment to you, fine sir!
And the Young man whom Pounced on the Men's 26" Daily Banger, I bid thanks!  A fine mode of transportation for our newest....TA DA! CONVERT!!!! YAY!!
And to the fine gentleman in the process of having us re-furb his twin Treks, Please try not to store them on the boat this year (salty air and all that) But Thanks for all your trust and we'll have them up and running in FINE shape!  And As fate would have it, it pays to be in the right place at the right time, as the little man whom came into the shop after I tripped over the "Spider-Man" scooter for the umpteenth time, discovered as I excitedly gave it to him, with the promise that he take it from this place, to never re-turn!
OY!
OK, so I need to get my overly bulbous butt outta here, as tomorrow is Valentines day (for the kids at school) and I gotta do THREE! count 'em THREE! batches of "Be Mine..." cards for the kids classmates. JOY! 
Peace!
