A thinly veiled attempt to generate a little scratch for our impending move!! As the first looms ever nearer and anyone who has ever had to move knows all about the annoying little costs associated with doing so!
And speaking of the move...
Now mind you I take no joy in the misfortune of anyone! Even those who have wronged my family and I. But Karma has a way of sneaking up and biting folks in the butt, HARD when they cross this family.
Case in point, our current landlord, when we first opted to rent here promised us we could rent as long as we wished, but new full well his intention was to sell. That which he did, clandestinely from under our feet when our lease was up, failing to inform us until 5 weeks before the sale was to be finalized. The sale of course was contingent on the inspection.
Which occurred this past Thursday.
Which the house failed miserably due to out dated (and potentially illegal) electric, severe structural damage, plumbing, windows etc,etc,
Unfortunately the perspective buyers were present for the inspection, to which they quickly opted to decline the purchase.
Karma strikes again.
ANYWAY!!
Today even though overcast and wet, was quite the busy day! Chip allowed me to repay him for the damaged tire on his truck, thankfully. However in lieu of cash he took trade in return. As long as he's happy I'm happy!
Thanks to the many folks coming in to pay us a visit, several being returning customer, some as far off as from our old garage day. One such lovely lady, came in a picked up the Diamondback MTB, as it was just the right fit! A young lady and her beau from points South traveled some distance to pick out a commuter for her. LOVED her anti-Twilight T-Shirt. VERY FUNNY!! They chose the ladies Schwinn I picked up yesterday. Another repeater who has picked up two bikes before traded in a real sweet Diamondback Hybrid (that had issues) for a Banger he's looking to convert into a BMX. And speaking of the Diamondback, no sooner did I get it, and put it up in the rack for a rebuild, and finish it did fate kick in! Yesterday, a gent and his lovely wife visited us looking for just the right ride for him. He tried several bikes but none were perfect. So he left to consider his options. Well when I first got the Diamondback, he came to mind but I had not had the foresight to get his number. Well a scant 5 minutes before finishing up in they came, originally looking for the Univega (which sold the night before) when i directed his attention to the DB. Well it was love at first sight! I stand firm in my belief that a bike will always find it's owner!! So thank you Frank for your patronage and all your kind words! Really does the heart good when these things transpire before your eyes.
Managed to get out four new gems today (so much easier to work when you can find stuff!) His and hers cruisers, a Big Boy Schwinn, and a LIKE NEW black Widow dual shock MTB!! Check out the grandeur below!
Well i will close with one last parting word, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our lovely little Izabella who today has officially entered the terrible twos! And OH is she ever living up to it's reputation!
But we love her anyway!
Good night folks and see you tomorrow.
