Road frame. Too big for me, paging Dr. Benway.

I was following a guy yesterday on my way in wearing one of those pollution masks... at times like these I feel like I should try one of those!

Yay for the upcoming cooler weather.

Customer enters shop asking for help with his integrated headset. Headset is shot..sell him replacement. Thanks me and leaves shop. Comes back 2 minutes later bearing his Redbull rep card and a free case of Redbull. Keith has shaky hands all of a sudden.

Keith, have you learned nothing from your Imac experience? Bike comes in, blame customer, suggest that you'll look it later if he's lucky, and profit.

This whole helping the customer thing.... it just doesn't compute!

I've often wondered about these masks in that regard.

not to mention the days that you need them the most are the hottest and therefore least pleasant to have neoprene or whatever they're made out of covering half your face!

I drank redbull the other day. Doesn't seem any different than any other soft drink. Besides the ridiculous price you pay for it of course. And the fact that people like to mix it with vodka for some odd reason.
