I am right there with you. Nothing like the rewards of wrenching on your own ride. I don't know what was enjoyed more, rebuilding or riding (afterwards) my old 24" BMX cruiser. I am about to embark on another bike build. So I just need to remember that after getting the parts from the LBS to stop off and get some ice cold beer.
By the way, that part about your friends showing up... it reminded me of "Feelin' Good Again" by Robert Earl Keen.
