Made Of Stronger Stuff!

Apparently folks from Illinois are just made of sterner stuff then us Floridians!  Shout out to the Mom and her kids who blissfully braved the near Tornado quality weather yesterday to come in and buy not one but FIVE rides!  And also much thanks that they were driving a mini van with ample payload.  All five went in the back, standing up without a problem!  I've seen cargo vans with less room!  NICE!  And we also do appreciate all the kind words and compliments paid to our little enterprise. 
OK, so maybe I'm not being totally fair, as there were some more natives who popped in throughout the day as the weather had NO clue what it wanted to do!  One moment Gail force winds and driving rain, next sunny with scattered clouds.  Pain in the butt really!
Enough about the weather.
So with that big movement we are once again hurting for rides, especially painful coming up o the weekend.  And as it is the first weekend of the summer (based on the kiddos being out of school....*shudder*...) have no idea which way it will go.  Could be dead or more then likely SWAMPED with unprepared parents who have quickly discovered bored kids shut up in house equals mass destruction.  Best to give them an outdoor activity!  And whats better and more conducive to early development, fine tuning motor skills, and fortifying independence and self reliance then riding a bike?
Too much?
Sorry.
But seriously, remember the feeling YOU had as a kid being able to explore your surroundings on your own power.  Meeting up with friends, charging and racing around the neighborhood with baseball card strapped to your spokes (whoops...dated myself there) gathering up neighborhood debris to fashion a crude ramp and attempt to achieve high velocity airborness culminating in spectacularly memorable "Indy" style crash enabling a trip to the emergency room to allow for a cast for all your friends to sign?  A true memento of a great summer!
Ahhhh....those were the days!
On second thought an afternoon in an air conditioned hallway smashing your SSP "Smash 'Em Up Derby" cars against the walls doesn't sound all that bad.
(sorry.  For the younger readers Google SSP.  Dated myself again)
And what about the Evil Knievel "Stunt Set"?
And Atari "Pong".
Forget Google!  We have the magic of youtube!


Ahhhhh.  Simpler times.
ANYWAY!
It goes without saying I have nothing new to show other then some of what sold yesterday.  Yea, I guess I'll post 'em just to prove that we did in fact "work" on something aside from all the repairs we have had come in!  Thanks so much for the faith and trust folks!
Alright, no back to work, breaks over!

"OH WAIT!  WE STILL HAVE THIS ONE!
