Do you take moneys for restorations? Been looking for someone to work on my Strad 37.

I'm not a professional at it, and wouldn't really feel comfortable working on another person's instrument in case I messed it up. Thinking about looking into the full training because there are just things with it that I just don't know. The bugle just needed to be soldered at spacers which I already know how to solder.

Today I got an am ride in, got samples for the much put off room redo, got the spit valve pads, installed them, then played the bugle and the silver trumpet. It's like riding a bicycle. Once you learn, you never forget. The sound this makes is nice and warm, and good dog is it easy to growl.

Don't know the full story with the bugle, but having owned both the gold and silver ones since new they both have major miles on them.

The gold one has played in Giants Stadium in band competition, been in Germany and Austria, been involved in some small group performances. The silver trumpet, seen a tour through Hungary, Czech Republic and Germany.

Today I got yelled at for biking like a ******bag (I was, but screw climbing a hill behind slow people) but it's just been a rest day for the weekends activities.

RIP your hat and caleido tape needs some encouragement in the form of stretching while wrapping.

Finally got my r540s! Love them. I was about to remove this sticker but then I noticed that it was a LBD. Would have ended in tragedy, no doubt.

Considering I've only ridden 1 set of sram (OG red) and a many shimano, double tap will never seem normal to me. :p

phone insurance is bull****, noone ive ever known was able to use it for any type of issue on their phone ever. the only thing that works is applecare as long as its not water or idiot damage

cc700 09-05-13 02:02 PM

it's water damage, but that's why i had phone insurance instead of apple care.

pointless waste, when they ask me at the phone place i always just laugh

Jaytron 09-05-13 02:40 PM

Phone insurance covers lost/stolen devices doesn't it?

Just "lose" it!
