Jonesin'!

Wow, outta the blue.  Thought I was doin' pretty good with the whole quitting smoking thing, but for some reason today is BAD!  I'm fighting it, but Lord!  Maybe this is the final death throes of the addiction as the poisons leave my body.  Boy I hope so.  Gonna have to keep busy to keep my mind off of it!
Speaking of busy!  Zombie-Boy is apparently laid up today as he threw out his back...somehow/
I will NOT speculate.
Matt's in today, apparently feeling better, funny, you rarely see the two of them together in the same place at the same time, could it be that....?  NAH!  Well?  maybe...Matt is....Zombie-Boy!?
anyway.
Have much to build today but I want to take a couple of minutes to go over some interesting news tidbits, then cover 1 commonly asked question around here.
First, a big "Way To Go!" to the city of Portland, which has adopted the use of man powered three wheelers to deliver office supplies to all city offices and employees!  In an attempt to cut down on gas-tly emissions all their goodies will now be delivered by Pedal Power!! In an over sized trike, with a storage box on the back (still looking for pics) Now the rest of you pollutant spewing cities need to take notice!  Imagine, all these cities, and towns complaining about budget cuts?  Imagine how much money you could save if ALL city employees were required to ride bike? Well, we have done some research in the past and the average person (you and me) spends (on average) $29,473.08 PER YEAR to own and operate a motor vehicle (and that quote DOES NOT include the cost of insurance)  For a small example, take city code enforcement? (yea, you knew I'd pick on them didn't ya!?) Last time i was there I counted 22 vehicles in the parking lot.  Simple math.  They'd save $648,407.76...A YEAR! by simply eliminating that fleet!  Heck, I'd even save them more, for each car they dispose of, I'll GIVE them a real nice bike to re-place it, with a basket and everything!  Believe me, I've met these people some of them could do with a little more bike riding!
Obviously, we need emergency vehicles and what have you, but eliminate the fat!
Secondly comes our first ever "Somebody Was Watching The Discovery Channel!" award!  Seems a group of inventive drug dealers in Mexico, just over the Arizona border, tired of the standard smuggling operations came up with a new idea for speedy importation of their product onto American soil.  Employing a large trailer, a metal bar and some heavy duty elastics they were caught by US Border Patrol, responding to a tip testing out their...Catapult!  Yep, copying a design for a medieval "Long Range" catapult, their apparent plan was?  Not sure, but check out the pic below!
Now on to the "recently asked questions .  "Do you have any used bikes?"  may seem like a simple question, but it has a not so simple answer.  The bikes we purchase are used, however they do go through a full refurb.  In short, we tare the bike down to frame and rebuild it, cleaning every nut and bolt, re greasing and oiling all moving parts, and replacing all parts damaged or worn out.  hence why we call them "re-furbished" bikes.  There is a difference.  We do not simply buy and then sell, like pawn shops, or thrift stores, or what have you.  We offer a FULL one warranty, so they HAVE to be in TOP ridding shape when they leave!
Hope that answers that question adequately.
Also, as promised i leave you with the pics of the two other bikes finished last night!
So, I think I've wasted enough of your time today, and I must get to work. Talk ta ya 2-nite!

If you absolutely, positively have to get stoned overnight!
