This is a test...this is ONLY a test

OK, percentage wise how much time DO I spend whining about Craigslist?
No, ALOT is not a number.
Any WHO, I have been spending time trying to figure out HOW the person(s) flagging me are getting away with it.  Now assuming the culprits may monitor this site i won't give away ALL my secrets but I have discovered a few ways to combat it, but I still can't shake the heat all together.  It's getting to the point now where SOME of my adds (similar to pawns in a game of chess) don't post for more then an average of 8 minutes!  So if y'all aren't seeing us when you peruse Craigslist, that's why!  It is an invaluable tool in this line of work, and one I spend an innordinant amount of time on, so after awhile you get a little annoyed until that annoyance turns to a fatalistic sort of humor.  Hence, in a particularly jaunty mood I posted this latest "Test" add.

Farm boy looking to see the sights, with "no questions asked" Traveling light, with only three companions (and two can be switched off and placed in the overhead) Ship must be non descript, and untraceable and be capable of doing the Kessle run in under 12 parsecs. Fully armed and operational, and highly maneuverable . I want to get away form my dead beat dad who's an Imperial pain in my ass! And maybe pick up some royal chicks on the way! Willing to trade Prime Tattoine real estate with a fully functional Moisture farm with all the power droids you'll ever need, climate control underground dwelling (and the front entry way flower beds recently fertilized with ash potting soil) and all the blue milk you can drink. Wonderful views of the Dune sea and twin sunsets (I'll even through in a cool set of binoculars)

Wonder how long THAT add will run?! 
So, now you know the silly mood I'm in today!
Also, on a totally different subject, Paco has gone MIA again, haven;t seen anything new from him in over a week.  I know he gave me the heads up that he was swamped with work (hey he has bills to) but we are SO close to getting to the needed amount of strips to start to submit to the syndicates.  It's like being on a date with a really sweet girl (I'm talking about my wife of course) and your almost to the good stuff...and the baby wakes up.
 ARRGH!!!
So all I have is to occasionally switch over to http://www.wartscomics.blogspot/ to reminisce.  Would you like to join me? (like that subtle plug?)
ON TO WORK!
Zombie Boy apparently has gotten a bug in his bonnet (probably one of those little Spider-Man wanna be green worms) as he has been pumping out prime pretties!  The GT MTB from yesterday, which is SHINNING in Black metal flake, finished the Redneck # Wheeler, The Tandem Special, and is now working on finishing up a GORGEOUS Cannondale!  And I have to keep him from chomping at the bit as we got an order on the Snazzy Schwinn Continental for a full re-paint and re-furb and he's dying to cut into it.  BUT I have learned, you have to keep him focused to get him to finish!
Jose'...is not here.  Don't know why.  He's usually on time an waiting, and he has a few unfinished goodies to put out.  As do I.  The Diamond back Road bike re-furb special has been giving me...issues.  Have dealt with most of them and she should be together this afternoon, and in good time as I have a NIIIICE Old School Schwinn Hard tail firring up my stand that I want to finish (always have two projects going so when you get ticked off at one you don't loose production time)  THEN, I just bought a "In Need Of Lots Of Love" Trek Antelope 800 that I JUST bought I want to get out!
SO, with that in mind I bid you a fair fondue! (fond farewell?) (found Rainfall?)
