Yellow Shirt.

Henh...Not so much.
School get's cancelled.  The RNC gets cancelled for the day, heck, they don't even pick up the freakin' garbage, and for what?  A little drizzle and a gentle breeze.  I sure hope the folks in the pan handle and Louisianna are just as fortunate.
Well Kudos toour buddy Chip!  After hearing of the inequities heaped upon Mr. Lance Armstrong and him being striped of his titles Chip sent him his OWN yellow shirt.  Oh yes, in responce he mailed out a common yellow polo with the note,and I paraphrase "Mr Armstrong, heard about some cranky old men stealing all your yellow shirt.  Well heres one from us,and we promise we will NEVER ask for it back!"
A very nice gesture and a very nice slap in the face to those crusty old tyrants.
Well as the storm lead to nothing it still had the effect of keeping folks away from...well everything.  Had a few come in for repairs and some parts but we managed to keep busy with other projects.  One in particular, pic below was something from the "way to much work" pile.  It's been sitting in the Dungeon for close to two years.  As I stood in a daze yesterday I tried thinking of "what's next" and I figured 'what the heck, just for fun".  It'ssomething the previous owner did a haphazzard refurb on but never quite got it right.  So we just cleaned up, repainted and finished her.
So have a look and a great day and I'll see ya' shortly!

  1. Steven-

    JoAnn and I really did mail Lance a regular yellow cycling jersey. (Not just a polo shirt.) They aren't that easy to come by (DUH), but Bob Nohren had a couple in his shop.

    I think every cyclist in America should do the same thing as a show of support. We sent it to him care of the bike shop he owns in
    Austin- "Mellow Johnny's". It's at 400 Nueces Street, Austin Texas, 78701.

    So there.

    Hi-ho!
