    this is partly why i have no delusions of wanting to work in a bike shop. the other is the pay. no
    money and you get to go insane. let it be said i appreciate those of you who are willing to do the
    dirty work and risk untold dangers (mental & otherwise). there really ought to be hazard pay.

    meanwhile let's get gene back on his meds.

    Perhaps I should be worried now. I found that original post wholly comprehensible, and richly
    endowed with good humour.

    Normally, I have to struggle with g.daniels' postings.

    No thanks, I don't like turkey, nor do I think that small flightless insects should go to
    Puerto Rico.

    I'd like to add 3 and 6. Could I get 9 out of that?

    I prefer less pitch and more fire.

    I've never seen the guys on Shadetree Mechanic in a conundrum. I don't even think that show is on
    anymore. Er...didn't it used to be on TNN? Then TNN kept it's initials but changed Nashville to
    National, then that flopped so they changed to Spike TV (and Spike Lee sued them). That was a
    good show.

    Wow, combining Jethro Tull, Shaggy, and the Alan Parsons Project (which may have been some sort of
    UFO). Wondering aloud/why me lord/where do we go from here... How do we feel today/situation looking
    kinda bad/now that all other children are growin' up...

    Amen to that, brother!

    time flies like an arrow fruit flies like a banana

    i thought it worth repeating.

    this is cool: three LBS visits, and no i was not stoned, brought five more witticisms all forgotten
    due to stress but i forgot this one in the first instrance:

    the mail order people have a bad habit of LEAVING SOMETHING OUT!! and then the MOP have the bad
    manners to whine that YOU pocketed THEIR piece and now want THEM to send YOU another for nuthin' for
    example: having odored a cassette gear cluster and a hub to go with the customer may find NO
    EXPLETIVE DELETED wrench for the new cassette.

    what gives here is the MOP want another chance at bleeding the customer one on one for yet another
    odor. DESPICABLE!!

    this is from the early warning system!!!
