Affirmation Of Humanity

First off, thanks to all for the prayers and good tidings.  Miranda is doing as well as can be expected, and her temp has returned to normal.  They are observing her for the evening, and will try and determine tomorrow if she has a virus or a milk protein alergy, or both. At least momma has given her some comfort.
Today was a real humdinger!  We had us a real buying frenzy.  Folks were lined up to sell us some real gems!  Picked up a gorgeous set of his and hers Kaluna 7 speed cruisers, a Sabre road bike, a Specialized Hard Rock, a ladies Schwinn Cruiser, a couple bangers, some scrap rides, and THREE Vintage Schwinns!  A 25" 1975 Continnental road bike, a 1971 5 speed varsity, and a real cherry 1965 Racer with a GORGEOUS Bendix red stripe rear!  I was happier then a puppy with two peters!  Needless to say our neat and organized shop is now once again cramped.
Special shout out and major plug to Steven from Get Healthy Vitamins & Natural Foods,and Performance Lab at 4011 Tampa Road, Suite 12 Oldsmar, Fl (813) 475-7255!  As the name implies they deal in all things healthy and recently they bought out another local bike shop and are dealing exclusively in high end racing/road bikes.  Steven had bought a fixie from us a couple years ago, and remember us.  As they were sorting through their acquistion they were left with a bevy of stock, materials and repair parts they would not be useing and instead of just chucking them he recommended they donate it to a good cause.  US!  Oh you should have seen us gush when he openned the tailgate to his truck revealing all the goodies!  I was a little boy at Christmas!  Needless to say we now have a full to brimming slat wall of treats!  So again, a very heartfelt thanks to Steven and the folks at Get Healthy! (www.getingethealthy.com)
And thanks to all the wonderfull folks who came in and darn near emptied us out again!  The Big Boy Schwinn found a home to a gent con-vinced into riding with his lovely wife whom had bought a ride from us a few weeks back.  We were lucky enough to help a wonderful lady get a cruiser that actually fit her with the sweet 24" cruiser, and got her 26" in trade!  The Hyper BMX went to a very discerning young man, who's mom was quite thankfull he didn't talk her into building up the lightweight BMX frame we got!  Also had  a young family come in and snag up two BMXers for the kids!  Now they can ride as a family!
And as always, thanks for all your confidence in allowing us to service your rides!  We do so appreciate it!
 Well tomorrow is the big day!  Got the keys this evening and will be going to bed quite soon to get a good nights rest for the "BIG MOVE"!!!
So with that I leave you with an appropriate traveling tune...
