High Five to Five-O!

Well in my children's normal fashion on the bike ride to school this morning they weren't listening and after narrowly missing a collision between Logan and Owen a few moments later Rozlynd, for some reason performing a serpentine maneuver caught her wheel on the curbs edge and did a hand plant.  As I (and the boys) rushed to her aide and were in the process of comforting her one of Dunedin's finest pulled up and came out to investigate.  He instantly realized what happened and very sweetly offered Rozy a band aid and comfort.  It was a very sweet gesture in what I am sure is a busy day.
Even though today was quite inhospitable weather wise we were quite busy.  Sold the Gary Fisher to a very informed buyer (hooray for the Internet!) as a gift for his sister.  As well as the usual influx of repairs I kept quite busy.
Yes, I finalized the last details on the Schwinn and she is ready for sale!  Check out the finished product below.
Once done managed to put out a sporty looking three wheeler as well.  This one is unique as someone took the frame for a ladies aluminum cruiser and mounted a three wheeler axle  and housing on the rear end.  Don't worry though, that's how many manufacturers actually build them.  They had just forgotten a couple crucial items such as the rear support struts.  But after some serious re-manufacturing she makes for a real lightweight and quick ride!
Oh and quick note regarding a news item I touched on yesterday.  Seems I'm not the only paranoid action film watcher out there.  Seems as they have yet to locate those stolen buses, they have contacted the RNC, and alerted Home Land Security.  So I'm not crazy after all.
All right that'll do for me tonight.
Y'all sleep well!

  1. Awesome job! I like the way the Schwinn lettering came out. Cartoonish, as you said, but a cool twist on the logo.
