Explanation. Right around Christmas time we have the increase in buying you would expect, depleting our stock. Then we kind of languish and flounder until a steady stream of new bikes start coming in around the third or fourth week of January. At that point most folks are starting to see their Christmas purchases starting to show up on their credit card statements, and suddenly they realize that little Johnny and Suzy got new bikes this year, what do they need with the old ones? Soooo, seeing as we are the only used bike rescue in town, we get BAH-IZ-ZEE!! (that's "busy", with an emphasis, for the unhip and colloquial impaired) Well, we started seeing them yesterday, in spades! Thankfully, Elijah was present and was able to help me rack 'em, stack 'em and pack 'em! Then we got busy with tear downs and rebuilds. Some of them have unfortunately outlived their usefulness and will be used to help bolster up the others, sad to say, but most will be given a new life. actually, two already have as you will see pictured below!
Yesterday was busy on the repair front as well, thank you all so very much! I will never get tired of hearing folks tell me that a friend or family member ordered them to go to no one else but us! Makes a man feel all gooey inside! Also, put together a real sweet full repaint on a Caloi cruiser yesterday, and no sooner had I listed it, did it sell, lickety split! Apparently to the chagrin of a few Craigslist viewers. No sooner did it sell, did I start getting phone calls about it. I had to gently let them down, and inform them she already found a good home. Most took it well enough and vowed to keep watching, but one gentleman was less then gracious. I did explain that I had just sold it when he called, but that statement did not deter him from lambasting me for NOT removing it immediately from Craigslist. Just so there is no confusion, all our updates occur in the morning. The new stuff goes up and the sold stuff comes down If during the day, I find myself near the computer, and there has been a lot of activity I may take a second to update, but by and large it's a morning thing! A man has to have his regiment! So sorry for any inconvenience.
ALL RIGHT!!! MOVIE TIME!!
It's been a couple weeks since family movie night. As with the Holiday break there was no thought given to the regiment of Friday night movie time at the ol' casa. But we all curled up in the media room and popped in the latest Marvel flick "The Wolverine!"
Understand, I was a little unwilling to give this one a look. The reason being? I was FAR from impressed with the first foray into the X-men one shots "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" No, that one was a travesty! From the tweaking of his origin story, to the unnecessary love story, to the bastardization of a lot of key players right down to the fact that they didn't even give Gambit a creole accent! It was junk! But as everyone else was key to watch, I caved. And I am glad I did! This one was by far a marked improvement! From Logan's love of Mariko, to the retelling of a key moment (albeit out of sync with the comic book timeline) in Wolverines life. And of course the tantalizing key in at the end of the film to the upcoming X-men epic "Days of Future Past"! Yes folks, definitely give this one a look!
Alright, for me, it's back at it and we will see you all real soon!
