No tracking numbers again today. I'm going to follow up with the folks that I've ordered from but the odds of receiving either my tandem or the parts that I need for my single bike by Friday have dropped off of the table. Both items were supposed to have shipped on Monday.

The weather forecast for this weekend is mid 70's and sunny. I'd like to be able to enjoy that weather on my bike.

Woo Hoo! Called the recumbent tandem dealer. The bike is on it's way and should arrive on Thursday. They just haven't sent the updated invoice and tracking number yet. Mrs. Grouch is already talking about an after work ride on Thursday. Pray for a smooth launch and steady steering.

We need pictures by Friday AM to verify that this has taken place..

A lawyer once told me that if it is not in writing it never got said.........or something like that.

More improvement.

Parts for my single bike arrived today via UPS. I'm taking tomorrow off of work. I still need to make arrangements for residential delivery but I'm told I can do that tomorrow morning.

I'm pretty sure that I have everything that I need so I should be able to redo the single bike while I'm waiting for the tandem. By this time tomorrow I could be in N+2 mode. I may have to take time off from working on bikes to buy myself a new digital camera.

The next project is a fixture for transporting the tandem in my car.

Milan Kundera once said (The Unbearable Lightness of Being, one of my favorite books), "if it happened only once, it might as well never have happened at all..."
