Kismit

Last night while perusing Netflix for new shows to become obsessed with I stumbled on a real keeper.  Seems BBC did an updated version of Sherlock Holmes called Sherlock.  Taking place in modern day England yet retaining much of the original Conan Doyle's canon.  Yes I know some snub their noses against modern day revivals of historical classics but hey, Dicaprio did it for Shakespear's Romeo and Juliet!
OK, bad example.
But anyway, they are produced in 3 installments of episodes 1 and a half hours long, and the acting is BRILLIANT with a rapid fire, quick pace (not as much as Robert Downeys version, though) but you are, through creative direction, editing and CGI drawn into the thought process of the intrepid deducer! 
Well as fate would have it I was hooked!  I delved into the back ground of the lead actor Benedict Cumberbatch and low and behold I was not the only one to recognize his brilliance!  Seems he has been cast in the 2013 Sequel to Star Trek as none other then....
You guessed it...
KAHN!!!!
( I wonder if Chris Pine will actually utter that fan favorite primeval cry!)
Needless to say it is HIGH on my to-do list!
ANYWAY!
Twas a relatively quiet day, and as the summer heat is beginning to infringe on the comfort of the Dungeon (no AC of any credible strength in there) were working a little slow come the height of the afternoon. 
We must adjust.
Managed to get one out, an old school Schwinn MTB hard tail with some pretty decent Shimano components, and a lightweight frame! So check her out below.
All right, I'm off to enjoy another episode of Sherlock!  You all have a great night!
