Blah!

This is one of those Mondays that all those Monday cliché's were written for!  I like a good rainstorm as much as the next guy, but you'd think they would schedule them for a more convenient time, like at night!  But "OH NO!" every now and then they gotta shoot a nasty morning like this at us so we can have squishy socks all day!  Well, OK maybe not this time as we planned ahead and brought some dry clothes with us (HEH!  Used my brain once!  I be smart an stuff!) but it's the principal of the thing!  Another day off came and went and except for a brief dip in the Redneck pool the rain pretty much had us trapped in the house.  So in between refereeing a variety of small cross border skirmishes and various diplomatic faux pas between warring factions the day went relatively smoothly.  Of course once evening rolled around the inaccessibility to burning off sugar out doors made getting children to bed a wee bit of an issue.  Eventually we resigned ourselves to allow them to wear out and pass out wherever they dropped.
We finally went to bed round 2am.
Yay team!
Also, I send a prayer out to the little puppy we came across this morning who seemed a tad bit lost.  We knocked on a few doors but no one knew where he belonged, so we rode around a bit until he got squirmy, then once I put him down he shot off to a house he seemed familiar with, so I hope he's OK.
Now if someone can tell me how to get the smell of wet dog off of me! 
OH, wait...that could be good though.  At least no sparkling vampires would dare attack me if the thought I was a Quileute changeling!  Go Team Jacob!!!
ANYWAY!
Actually managed to get some bikes built on Saturday, surprise,  surprise!  And what gems they are!  A sweet looking Eddie Bauer cruiser (that one sold), a ladies 24" dual shock in FINE condition, a gem of a full chrome Dyno Zone.  Kaleb came up with a scratch build utilizing a 24" frame and made us a single speed "Urban Assault"!   And we got a REAL find in a 2011 Trek FX!!!!!  Like FREAKIN NEW!!!!
So check 'em out below, and we are going to get back at it as we have a soon to be fine Giant in my rack and others on deck!
See ya REAL soon!

  1. Enjoy reading your blog Steven; but that baby blue Trek you are selling looks very similar to this one posted as stolen. I'm not sayin; but check it out... http://dunedin.patch.com/groups/announcements/p/missing-trek-bicycle-light-blue-color

  2. Would love to hear how this plays out. If it's not the stolen one and you aren't heavily invested in it, what a chance to make someones day. =)

  3. Thank you VERY much for the heads up! I have sent the gentleman an E-Mail asking for serial number confirmation, and am awaiting a response. Obviously the bike is set aside for the time being until he contacts us. As we have the sellers ID and thumb print if it is in fact stolen...he's gonna fry!

  4. It's situations like this that make our job that much harder. We used to be able to contact the police department and get info on the bikes we buy based on the serial number, but unfortunately they don't do that anymore. So each time we buy a bike we have to extend a great deal of faith. Even though we take every precaution by photo copying ID and taking a thumb print that doesn't even seem enough as in the past when we have contacted the police and reported receiving a stolen bike and given them the info they respond as if tracking them down will be nigh on impossible! So why exactly DO taxpayers pay the salaries of detectives?
