SHEESH!
Yes, the summer time is in full bloom.
Luckily, we keep ourselves quite busy. Managed to put out three newbies and get three more tore down for rebuild.
Having the new guy AND Elijah in the shop, while it could be assumed would be beneficial, is trying at moments. Not that they are a problem (aside from having a propensity for leaving their crap lying around, typical teenagers) it's having something for them to do! Obviously slow day's have their own challenges, but as they are both just learning the ropes, I either find them other things to do (which takes away my concentration) or I take the time to teach them how to do things. I accepted the fact a long time ago that I am a lousy teacher. In the time I it would take to show them how to do something I could have it done three times over! I guess I just have to learn patience and compassion.
*shudder*
It does help, though, when things get busy (and we don't step on one another) and we are able to get through jobs much quicker!
ANYWHO!
I wish I had more fun to chit chat about, but as I said....Tuesday.

Wow I haven't seen ANY other Powerkings other than my own. It was a dumpster find about 5 years ago. I'm pretty sure it came from the now defunct E.J. Korvetts department store, the last Christmas they were open, some lucky soul got a shiny orange 10 speed. Sure hope yours finds a good home. Smoothest riding bike I've ever had the pleasure to ride.
ReplyDeleteI agree with John- that Power King is a real gem. It has the Shimano three-speed hub- smothest hub on Planet Earth.What a wonderful find!
ReplyDeleteAnd "E J Korvett" was a department store? I remmeber hearing some comedian on the radio, over forty years ago, doing wicked comedy routines as "The Reverend E. J. Korvett at the Holy Land Amusement Park in Del Rio, Texas". I had no idea it was a store.
WOW! This will mark the fourth Power King we have had in the last seven years, but the first black one. The other three were all red and some years ago two of them came from the same person! COOL!
