Tropical Depression?

Every time I hear that term I think of some lonely overweight guy, in a open Hawaiian shirt, with a speedo sitting on Clearwater beach with a pina colata sighing heavily!
And yes even though we work indoors the rain doesn't do much for the cycling industry!  But "Oh Well'!  Sure gives us plenty of time to build bikes!  Put out three new goodies today!  ANOTHER ladies 24" cruiser!  OH BOY!  a sweet looking little Schwinn Falcon we took down to a basic single speed coaster,and a real sleeper that took me totally by surprise!  This one was a real wreck when it came in, and I was half tempted just to scrap it out, but something spoke to me!  Gave it a full re-furb and took her out for a test drive and MAN was she tight!  Updated the crank, sealed bottom bracket and newer head stem and gearing and WOW what a beast!  LOVE them lightweight frames and over sized crank!  Really gets out of her own way!  Check out pic's below! Couple shout outs for the day!  Thanks Mom for the assist today!  Makes the move A LOT less stressful!  All my love!
And thanks to Frank for a return visit for a couple minor tweaks on the Diamondback (sorry about the bum tire, but that's the beauty of a warranty!) and for more of the kind words.  That's the beauty of our little self contained eco-system, plenty of room for a gent of his views and a "tree hugger"like me to get along just fine! Now if we could just get governments to show such cordiality!
Even more goodies on tap for tomorrow as the time to import the remainder of the garage "keepers" is coming nigh!
All right I best get my comfort clothes on as tonight we signed the lease and momma and daddy need some time to breath a sigh of relief!
I leave you with the beginning of....

"What I Learned in Life, I Learned From My Kids"

It ain't broke if they can't find it
it's only wrong if you get caught
The best way to ensure a really hot shower is to flush a toilet
stubborn tenacity is it's own reward.
If you say please enough times, in a truly annoying voice, someone will give in
if its too loud, you just haven't listened to it enough.
If you want to capture someones attention, repeat their name over and over and over and over again.
peer pressure isn't pinning your brother in a sleeper hold
bedtime is a relative term
dietary requirement depends entirely on who's monitoring the refrigerator
sibling rivalry takes on a whole new meaning when extreme sports equipment is made available
practical jokes aren't so practical when there in a "mood"
