new hubs: 2 beers just to get the adjsutment right.
very satisfying- the job, not the beer.
see? this is where we part company..
in the evening when all my 'work' work is done
i settle in with some cds or an old movie and a glass or two of port.
and work until my fingers hurt or i get too tired - usually 2 or 3 am.
tonight...i started in on a Raleigh Sprite with world class rusty chrome.
