We have 3 branches in Sarnia. The one at Eastland Centre has a too dark ABM vestibule (37-65 foot candles at 30"). The branches at Northgate shopping centre (90-90 foot candles at 30") and Christina Street (84-86 foot candles at 30") have really bright ABM vestibules.

Okay, so the other day when Pyze was at the shop (this is why I wasn't around to say goodbye, btw) some crackhead dude wanders in and grabs a pair of sunglasses. Foot chase ensues and the old "Dude, I can outrun you all day - just drop the ****ing things ..." routine actually worked. It was the most laid back, almost comical chase I've ever had.

Got the Assessment done for the bike damage. $467 retail. That guy is going to Shyte when I send him the bill. Good thing for him, I can get stuff a bit cheaper.

If he gives the guy a real high price he might just clam up and start screening his calls though. Did you file an accident report?

Yeah, some folks think you can buy a complete pro rig for 500 bucks. It's probably a lot more than he was expecting!

I've been in contact with him twice now though, and he seems relatively co-operative. I'm sending him a scan of the assessment via email soon.
Hey everyone, by chance, does anyone have a fork-crown-race for a cartridge shimano 600 (6400) headset kicking around? I have the headset minus crown race and it's pretty useless right now. According to Cavernmech, any shimano crown race for cartridge headsets will do. Let me know if you've got an extra and if you want to trade/barter/sell/give-away. have a ood one!

I've also had my identity stolen and that was the worst nightmare I've ever had to go through. In Canada, no one believes you for the first few months and you have to get affadavit after affadavit after affadavit to prove who you are and that you had nothing to do with the fraud. It is nuts. The American banks were very easy to deal with however, and we cleared most of the problems up over the phone and a couple of faxes. I guess it is more common down there? Here, even a seemingly simple thing like changing your SI number takes months. I wouldn't wish this kind of problem on my worst enemy.

Ah to be a student again. All my housemates were up drinking until around 5am in my estimations. I was in bed sleeping...
And op, as they say 'If this dog do you bite, soon as out of your bed, take a hair of the tail in the morning.'
