    What'd I miss???

    What your suckers been doing? I'm still off the bike and installing trail destroyers on horse's feet. I see some of the same ol' buttholes are still around. Makes me proud. I'm at a horse show, sitting on my ass, waiting on something to do. I popped in when I saw of Stink's passing and thought...

    I'm Fired!!!

    Pretty sure this day in June is the day I follow Wumpus's lead and give notice. I'll be going back to shoeing horses. I have a guy to work with a few days a week in Austin and will build my client base back up. Here's to some good years in the bike industry...and some really sh*tty ones. If...

    Where the heck is Cooter Brown???

    I was just listening to Ragweed and it made me wonder where Cooter Brown is. Or any of the old monkeys.

    Hi knuckleheads...

    Since I actually stopped spending 14 hours a day on a computer, I have had nothing to say. I still sell bikes, I started roping steers again some, I started shoeing horses again (part time). I can't remember the last time I rode a bike though. Wumpus says hi too.

    Hey moron...here's a booger that needs eating.

    Do you honestly think someone is retarded enough to mount a tire inside out??? http://www.reddit.com/r/bicycling/comments/1k53w7/so_i_destroyed_my_gatorskins_in_one_week_can_you/

    A friend of mine was hit by a car and killed...

    today on a road ride. I don't now many details, but it's horrifying to me to know he was killed on a road that I may ride from time to time. Makes me sad and miss him already. Be safe out there, monkeys.

    Let's get your input abou this lawsuit.

    Here's a link to the news about Bell Sports suing Specialized for trade restraint. (or is it?) Chime in. I'll give my two cents, which is really about $6000 worth later. I've kept my mouth shut, but really want both industry and consumer input...

    I can figure the brake out...

    So...a customer just called about a bmx bike in for repair. We put tires on it, but it is still lacking the brake repair. I told her we hadn't gotten to the brake. She told me she can figure the brake out. I'm thinking..."let me get this straight...you don't know how to change tires, but the...

    Favorite sayings...

    What's your favorite??? I think mine is the recently acquired "I'm quickly moving up on the list of people I'd rather not be". That and "I hate MMike". I use that a lot.

    You're NOT just looking around...

    You're keeping me from my job. So...people come in constantly and touch everything in the store. I immediately engage them with a friendly opener, only to get "I'm just looking around". It's one thing when it's a brush off so you can be left alone to really look around, but most times it's just...

    I don't believe I would have asked...

    We get some pretty weird requests from time to time, but some dude just stopped and asked if we had anyone that worked on guitars. Appears that he has a Gibson Les Paul. I wonder what brought him to the bike shop to have it worked on.

    Man...I missed Wumpus today.

    Talk about an ass kicker of a day today. Ugh. I was one busy little bee. At least I get to revel in the fact he has to build the adult trike I sold today. :rofl:

    Oh yes I did...

    I know I could add this to a wheel thread, but why would I??? This is my most recent score. I really do think I scored getting a pair of these. Not sure how many there really are around, but I'm stoked to have them. Hincapie National champ paint scheme on Easton EC90 SL 38mm tubulars...
