The Nazi's Have Landed!

So in the end, remember if your looking for accurate news....don't look here!
A lot of folks use alternative media to get their news. John Stewart, Steve Cobert, Rush Limbaugh (although have no reason why on that one!) But I am definitely not one to look to!
It is with that pre-qualification I must update previous entries. Seems that Hostess is indeed out of business. The negotiation with the unions bore no fruit so the Bankruptcy court has approved their filing and they are entering negotiations to sell off their assets. So within time some of their properties may be back on the market but it will never be the same., So my original assessment stands true.
OK! Scary little tidbit of a story here. Ever have one of those morning that you wake up and you're not sure where you are, or what you're doing or even worse who you are?
Yes. That was this morning for me. And what's worse was the baby was involved!
See, in our house the morning feeding is my domain. As Miranda is still on her special formula, that has no proteins, she has to eat every two hours so the three am feeding is still on. Well this morning all I could remember was standing in the middle of the living room and had put Miranda down on the changing table and I couldn't think of what I was there for, then couldn't remember which baby she was or what I was suppose to be doing. Thank God I eventually came too and gave her the right bottle!
So yea...that's been my day!
ANYWAY!
Thanks to Kaleb who opened up the shop so I could imbibed enough coffee to function.
The day did get better as we had a busy pre-Holiday day. Managed to put out a whole bunch a new goodies as well! Some real sweet ones to boot! A gorgeous Trek 3700 MTB we fully re-furbed, a slick Schwinn 7 speed cruiser, a few bangers, a nice light weight aluminum BMX, another aluminum men's cruiser and a real gem of a find that needs to be filed under "the silly things people do!" Gent came in with a 2012 Nishiki Colorado MTB. He bought it two months ago online, and when he received it paid some guy to assemble it. Seems the guy put the pedals on the wrong side and instead of realizing it forced it all the way in! BOTH SIDES! Totally stripping out both cranks. Then, instead of replacing the crank, used duct tape to try and make it work. At this point the poor owner was quite disgusted and instead of having it fixed just stuck it in the garage, frustrated. After two months he heard about us and that we buy and came in and sold it. Cheap. So this $522.00 bike is now fixed up and ready to go!
ANYWAY!
SO the other day, further proof that we love the barter system, had a gent come in who needed some parts for the bike he's rebuilding and having little cash offered to trade us some home made model planes he hand built. We checked them out, they were cool so we did the deal. Check 'em out below.
So in the end, y'all have a good turkey day and be sure to come see us on Friday!
Night!
