Looking forward to another weekend of mountain biking. Brian is going to be home for the weekend so I imagine we will do a road ride tomorrow after I close them the family and I are going to see the new STAR WARS flick.
Talked to Stan at No-Tubes Today.....
SAM contacted me about ordering him a new set of Stan's ZTR 355 29'r wheels so I picked up the phone and called. This is the second time I have called and talked to Stan the man himself. Seems like a pretty cool dude, real high energy and ready to give his expert advise on proper wheel setup and such. THANKS STAN.
Parents these days or is Criminal-dar like Gay-dar???
So a week or so ago this kid comes in the shop looking for a master link. I get it for him and tel him the price which was $1.33, to which he responded "I don't have any money, my mom said I need to get a job , so can I work it off?" Remember that quote. Anyway I handed him a dust rag and set him to work, during this time here he asked if he could worlk off a skateboard, so I agreed. So last week he drops in and asks if his cousin could come in the store and without looking I said why not and he proceeded to say that I had banned his cousin form the store for steeling so I renigged and said no thus the criminal-dar. I am a little suspect of this kid already and he is hang'in with a kid that I know has stolen from me.
So he shows up this afternoon to do a little more work and I ask him where he has been. He says he had been helping out a relative and then went to spent the afternoon with a man with a needle and proudly displays his new tattoo. So I say to him, "that's kind of expensive isn't to which he replies , "my mom said if I could find somebody to do it that she would pay for it" , interesting that the same mother wouldn't pay $1.33 for a master link, different priorities I guess.
I'm about ready for a Huffy Toss.....
I hate working on junk....but it pay$$$$$$$$ $o Good....
