Yep...Still Laboring On Phase Seven.

What has become of common decency and the art of conversation.  Now with all due respect to any contemplative answer on your part, that was basically a rhetorical question.  An opening line if you will.  See in today's age of personal communication devices, e-mail, Twitter and texting (although for convenient updates and flirting with Angi, I'm as guilty as the next Borg drone) we have almost completely lost the ability to communicate personally with one another.  With the exception of my Grandparents generation folks just don't know how to talk with anyone, much less conduct a cordial business transaction.  OK, maybe I'm generalizing a tad bit.  I mean I do have pleasant exchanges every day with folks who come in to chew the fat, but when some bluff and bluster type Blitzkrieg the shop with now regards for basic etiquette it really grinds my sausage! Not that I'm one to complain (oh yea, right!) but a gent and his lady friend stopped by briefly today inquiring about a chain for their BMX.  Now I say inquired but more precisely it was akin to demanding, oblivious to that fact that I was elbow deep in grease.  "How much for a chain?!"  Ascertaining that this was a cut and dry conversation I quickly replied "New or used?" "ah, no, no!  I wants new!"  I gave him the total and informed him he would have to leave it with me as I had to order it. 
(Now I pause for a second to state, we are a specialty bike shop that specializes in used and refurbished bike parts.  We can supply new parts but keep few in stock)
With this he grabbed the bike from me turned around in a huff and said "ah, NO, NO" as his lady friend slapped her thighs and began a brief hissy fit as they stormed from the shop.
Wow.
Someone should switch to decaff.
ANYWAY!!
Thanks to all the folks who gave me so much to keep me busy this morning with repairs!  Once that was done had to bail to the new place to continue the build, but tomorrow morning I focus on getting out some more goodies, so keep an eye on these pages!
Night y'all!
