Lee Nails Aint' The ONLY Thing That "Presses On"!!

I think I beat it!  The creeping crud only got me down for a scant two hours of my working day yesterday!  HOO-RAY!!  Even at deaths door I managed to crawl in and force myself to work!  A good thing too, 'cause we got in some SAH-WEET rides yesterday!!!  A like NEW Ladies Columbia 26" MTB, a B...E...A...UTIFUL Raleigh MTB Hybrid, Finished up the full rebuild on the classic Schwinn Frontier AND got a FLAWLESS 20" frame Trek 7300 Hybrid that looks like it hasn't seen a DAY of road time!!!  Yes, they're all pic'd below!  ALSO picked up another gimme!  Gent was passing by a neighbors house as he was wheeling a three wheeler out to the garbage and thought of us!  Said he couldn't stand to see her go to scrap and was hoping we'd give her a new life.  Why YES SIR!  We sure enough will!  Sad part is, it won't need much aside from a good clean and oil and new tubes to make her a ride able project bike for someone (or just ride able!) 
As far as business? 
Enh.
Yesterday was rain.  And once that icky wet stuff starts falling from the sky everyone runs for shelter, so it was by far the DEADEST Friday we have had in some time!  Sad.  BUT even though today is overcast DO NOT let that deter you from enjoying your weekend!  Get ready for salvaging it as tomorrow is set to be sunny and in the 80's, so if you don't have a bike, get one today, or if you need yours tuned-up, bring it in.....today. 
Hint, hint, nudge, nudge, say no more, say no more!!!
Let me tell you, once word got out on Facebook (yes, I leaked the story) that our family was possibly up for a reality show old friends came out of the woodwork's with a slew of "I remember when..." stories.  OY!  I thought with the passage of time my "youthful indiscretions" would have faded in memory.  Silly me.  Apparently I underestimated the strength of Nostalgia!  Youthful dalliances with less then orthodox methods of raising capital (NO, not illegal just...."unorthodox") , clumsy boyish attempts to win the favors of young ladies, classroom antics resulting in my own special "seating arrangements", a variety of vehicle mishaps and questionable "driving practices" (apparently my "Boston Maneuver" was utilized as an example of what NOT to do in drivers ed for many years AFTER I left school) abound!  I appreciate all my school age chums for reminding me of my less then stellar youth!
ANYWAY!
Have a plethora of rides to make ready so I best get off my keister and do so!  Remember, IT'S ONLY WATER!  You may be sweet, but you ain't made a sugar!  See ya soon!

  1. Glad you're back up and running, my friend. This planet is not the same without you. Or nearly as much fun.

  2. I'm coming for that Raleigh today, I'll bring in the Dahon for trade (wife says I can't have two bikes due to lack of space).

  5. I got to thinking about it, Steven. While we will not be discussing my bicycles publicly, I will say that I have not owned Just One Bicycle since the glory days of LBJ.

    And I'll be swinging by tomorrow on one of them.
