200!

The Mighty Bi-centennial has been reached!
Nope not years.
HITS!
That's right, our little blog is just about a year out and yesterday we hit over 200 hits in one DAY!  ALL RIGHT!
It's surprising how many people are out there with NO lives!
JUST kidding!
But seriously, thanks to all for helping us hit that milestone, and in so many corners of our little elliptical habitat.
I mean it is something to be sitting in my skivvies at the kitchen table while my babes are all nestled in their widdle Jammie's, rambling on about totally random nonsensical streams of obscure sentiment, and realizing that someone in India, or Pakistan, the UK Outer Mongolia or HoBoken are sharing in my life.
SPOOKY. 
But in a way, comforting.
No if we could just get our freaking governments to get along we'd be GREAT!
LOTS AND LOTS of goings on today at the old mill!
The biggest most freakin' awsomest thing HAD to be one of the GREATEST compliments I think we have received to date (and I'm not trying to overshadow any other) in the form of a gift.  An anonymous gentleman walked into the shop today brandishing a somewhat disheveled road bike with the sentiment "Here I have something for you.  Some friends of mine had this collecting dust in their garage and i told them I was going to bring it to you"  Seems he's been tuning into the blog and "really liked what we do, and thought we made some neat stuff!"  I thanked him (hopefully graciously) and he was on his way.
Then i took a CLOSER look at the bike.
O....M.....G!!!
I am not sure what make the bike is, as there are no defing marks or emblems or head badges, but it's a REAL nice cro moly frame with some GORGEOUS lug work.  If i had to guess I'd say it was a hand made frame.  But that's not the topper.  EVERY.....SINGLE component right down to the wheel skewers. are CAMPAGNOLO!
Every one.
WITH Mavic rims!  Hand made Italian Kevlar tires.
OMG! 
So then I took it out back and gave it a bath.
OMG!
It's GORGEOUS!  Maybe 2 small nicks in the paint, but other then that FLAWLESS!
We have yet to decide exactly what to do with it.  Lets be honest, we are business men, and THAT little voice screams SELL!  But for how much?  We've come up with a figure we think is more then fair for a machine of this quality (lets face it the rear derailleur retails for more then we are going to ask for it) But possibly,  we may put it in a lottery.  We'll have to see.
Time will tell.
Had many looky Loo's today and we thank you for stopping by and visiting!  Sold the Beach cruiser we picked up Sunday to a wonderful lady whom had bought the other one the day before.  Her and her husband, unfortunately have had to replace the two that were stolen.  (May the thieves suffer various forms of festering sores on their nether regions) I do so hope and pray they do not have to deal with any such misfortune again.  'Cause the bikes a real SWEET!
We sold the beginners Road Bike to a very nice young gentleman whom apparently travel SOME distance to get to the shop (and we are very sorry that the CVS obscured your first attempt at finding us, HOORAY for cell-phones!) He to apparently stumbled upon our web presence!  Thank you for visiting us and I again am sorry that your motivation for a new bike was due to theft as well! (Same curse, different thieves) 
And of course, as always we thank all the fine folks bringing us their chariots of joy in for their needed repairs!
And my OFFICIAL apologies to Ben.  A very understanding yet justifiably frustrated customer.  We were in the process of building him a custom three wheeler (truth be told this is the 2nd 3-wheeler we have been working on that this has happened to) when we hit a few snafu's.  And the project was dragging out FAR to long.  Sometimes it happens that we don't have all the parts we need and have to "order out".  You'd think it would be easy.  It's not, unfortunately and as we have been waiting and WAITING for a couple of parts to come of back order, he had to, understandably back out.  We are VERY sorry we could not finish it for you in a timely fashion.
Well, as all things must end so to does our time tonight.  I still have to get my OTHER work done.
Peace!
