Scrod,
Have you ever dealt with a seat post that had its paint scrape off it into the seat tube this causing it to slip even when torqued down? This Deda RS01 seatpost is killing me. I think I just have to take it off, sand off the pain that came off (the white lettering) on the inside of the seat tube, and try again. It's slipping enough to be about 1cm a week or so of riding.

scrod I cannot get rid of some play in my headset. it seems to be coming from the top dust cover area. I took off the stem, spacers and cover and then put them all back on and tightened down nice and good and I can still get a little bit of 'lift' when I pull up on my handlebars. any ideas? I have next to no experience installing headsets, it was done by a LBS. it's an FSA threadless headset if that matters

Scrod,
When did you start working as a bike mechanic, and how? Just curious/bored

I went into a local shop to buy some tubes or something a couple of years ago and the owner said "Hey, do you know how to install a headset? I'm without a good mechanic right now and the board is filling up." I started right then.
The shop ended up being a pretty weird place to work (lots of family drama, Christian overtones, etc) but it was a great learning experience - regarding both what to do and what not to do - when it came time to open my own shop.

Probably because you didn't have dreads.
