Shade of "The Matrix"!

Ever have one of those dreams?  You know the kind where the dream feels like reality, so vividly when you awake you kind of question where you are.  That this is the dream and when you close your eyes you'll return to your true reality.  I know, kinda deep for morning coffee time.  But that was this morning.  So my head ain't screwed on real tight right now.  It was about my vocation.  That instead of the Bike biz, I own a co-op shop...somewhere.  It had a coffee shop, a candle shop (?) and a comic store.  The Coffee shop was a hipper Starbucks, very clean and new(ish) the candle shop was very elegant but never seem to be open, and the comic shop section looked like an old barn(?)  I was younger and disorganized (whoop, no news there!) Just a weird experience I guess.  Makes you wonder what it means.  Probably means I've been reading to many graphic novels lately!
ANYWAY!  Today is independence day.  But as it is not one of the three "Take a day off" sanctioned Holidays here at RE-Cycle so we're schlepping the bikes today!  Got Kaleb in tearing down a Big Boy for re-build, and a few more goodies to work on as well! 
Spent yesterday putzin around the house.  First weekend in almost a month i haven't been laid up, so the kids and i went out for a big breakfast at Golden Coin (Pancakes and LOTS of syrup) surprisingly they all behaved relatively well (imagine a group of winded spider monkeys.  Taking a respite before the sugar rush kicks in) but timing being important i got them out of the restaurant and home before they collateral damage reached unacceptable levels.  Needless to say, i put them out back in their swim trunks and the garden hose before they could level the house!  Hung out with them for a little while to do the whole "Slip and slide" thing on their play set.  HEHEHE!  Wet plastic slide and hyper kids.  The comedy ensues!  Luckily the injuries were only mild.  I took some time to finally clean up all the leaves off the front yard (that the lawn guys ALWAYS miss) and pruned the hedges.So my bit for "dad work" was done!
MOVIE REVIEWS!!!  OK, we have NOT hit "Transformers 3" (don't ask me why) but we did watch this new Liam Niesen flick "Unknown".  Hmmm, no where NEAR as good a thriller/action/drama as "Taken".  1 little surprise plot twist about 3/4 through that kinda caught me off guard.  But in the end think the the "Bourne" trilogy. all rolled up into one movie. Guy who doesn't know who he is (or thinks he knows) pulled out of the water after an accident, young foreign girl wanting desperately to get out of the country she's stuck in, same high speed choreographed car chase through busy European city, same close quarter fighting sequence....  While well done, they just seem to have redone the style of director Paul Greengrass.  It was engaging to watch but in the end nothing we haven't seen before.
SO....I think I have wasted enough of your time with inconsequential ramblings!  I better get some work done!
