Blink, Blink....Where's the time go?

HOLY CARP! Has it really been four days since the last blog? You'd think I had nothing to say. (and some of you are saying "have you EVER had anything to say?")
Nope.
Got nothing.
JUST KIDDING! No it's been a humdinger of a busy four days and I thank every and all who have made it so!! (props to Jean Luc) Way many repairs and more and more refurbs then usual too! Guess folks are starting to find out more and more that there is an alternative to expensive repair shops that tell you not to bother and try and oversell you some umpteen hundred dollar "special" sale bike!
PFAH!
Yep, have had four full re-furbs come in just today! And a real special one that tickles the cockles of my heart. Seems a very young and spry Grandmother stumbled upon her old banana seat pea picker stashed away in an attic and decided to have us rebuild it after 20 odd years in captivity for her 10 year old granddaughter. I straightforwardly informed the young lady of JUST how lucky she was to be getting such a SWEET treat, and had best take VERY good care of it! She assured me she would.
Also got a real ego booster of a compliment today. A father and son are working on a three wheeler rebuild together and have to o some modification to the rear end and hit a wall. Some one had then referred them to us stating that "if anyone can figure it out, their the ones" Thanks for the high praise!
Well on the home front, no sign of little Miss Miranda...yet. She seems to be just way to cozy where shes at. The stork was due to drop her off on the 15th, but I guess he hit a head wind and needs more time. Momma is obviously "not amused!"
SO, hurry up and wait!
On to a topic close to my heart, AS PREDICTED the Avengers hit the Billion dollar club as of Monday! It set the record for hitting the milestone faster then any other in the prestigious club!
if I may make another prediction...I think it may oust Avatar from the top spot when the dust clears!
ANYWAY!!
Have pics of four of the five built today, the real sweet Schwinn Hybrid I put together earlier today lasted only about 20 minutes, but the other four are below for you to ogle.
And have many a more goody to put out tomorrow.
So with that, I'm gonna sign off!
