Sanded up another Enticer hood to prime and paint and uncovered the crachkhead body guy I bought it from, his shitty work. I can see why the customer was pissed. The bondo over the cracks fell right out when I touched it with a sanding pad. Guess I need to break out the fiberglassing skills.

I was going to contribute money to his pit poncho fund. I remember a time when I didn't have any. It was a really dark time in my life.

I mean, Obama got a 3rd term by proxy.

FINALLY fought that tire off. Found a small ding in the rim too, so I guess the soft jawed pliers comes out...

Without price supports, one bad year puts a lot of them in a tight spot real quick, especially if they are leasing equipment and renting land. Heck, even with price supports, one bad year will usually nab a high flyer here or there.

Tire on it doesn't even have a season on it and is really nice. Don't need to spend another $80+ on more stuff for the bikes.

Not sure where it is heading, but I'm confident in my ability to get there quicker then most on here!

Hell, I'm still waiting on my fork and shock. Just picked up fresh sealant, different tire levers, an injector, etc. on my way home today. Too bad I'm no longer drinking, or I'd just cut the damn tires off and put new ones on, after a few drinks.

I've been trying to fight the Cushcore and tire off my bike.I'm not sure I'm going to put the Cushcore back in...

Probably, but I got a big boy job where I get to hire and fire people, Dale Gribble style.

I just impersonate an angry trucker on the weekends hauling vegetables instead.

Yeah, I'm a little bitter about how my last job went the last few years I was there...

He is Minnesota's herpes.

No need to embellish it, we all know it is a Kwik Star potato.

What it takes for a US business to do business in China is not understood by many. You hand them everything on a golden platter, all for the allure of a quick buck.You set up the Chinese corporation. You buy the building. You buy the capital, new capital at that. They don't want your used shit, nor will they accept it for import.You bring your IP over. You train them.They own 51% (or more) of the corporation. They "represent" you in their courts when shit goes sideways and you have 19.638 knock-offs of your product floating around every corner of the planet.If you don't like what just happened, you handed them every part of your manufacturing business on a golden platter, including the IP and the capital to do it.

Shocks showed up today.

My shock guy hasn't got to my bike shock and fork yet. I'm tempted to run out and get one of those Ozark Trail Ridges so I have something to ride until my stuff is done.

Walz is out and about everywhere but the state he "runs", leaving it budgetary and political shambles. Any bets on him running for the White House in 2028? Wonder how many more times he can use the "humor" and "knucklehead" excuse for his misgivings when caught driving hatred and divisiveness red-handed...

I bet you even cheaped out on the potato and bought something like a Russet instead of a good one like a Yukon Gold.

The new wild thing about mountain bikes - those Ozark Trail Ridges are damn good bikes for $400 and easily upgradable. That is a bike that almost anyone can afford, is decently capable, and easily upgradeable in the future.

What is even more fucked up is the surplus MN blasted through and we will see CONSTANT headlines of schools running short on money and kids going hungry. Fucking criminal what the DFL has done in this state.

I keep sideways eyeing up a KLR650, just can't pull the trigger. Every time I get close, I see some clueless person in a vehicle and think better of it.

I look at it as an investment in my health and even though I'm now like $2500-2700 deep into my $1600 bike, it isn't like I bought it and it is now worth $0. I can at least sell it for something.

4 boxes showed up today. Looks like everything has shown up so far, still waiting on the high dollar item and some side panels.
