Just for fun...

I have put together five Sr. adult trike riders. Sometimes explaining something technical can be difficult especially with the ladies. Yesterday one had no brakes. I tightened them so they were very nice. Then she complained that she couldn't apply the parking brake with her not very strong left hand, declaring, "It used to work!" I would ask her, do you want it tight or loose. She emphatically said, "Both." Yes, it used to work, only when she couldn't stop. Again, do you want it tighter or looser. "Both!"
ah the "airhead""cake and eat it" syndrome,I'm a bit OCD when cleaning a site it may look like its taking too long,the caveat is"when I am done,I am done"( I don't like wadding everything up and burying it.)
 
Ways to make the phone ring:
1) Take a bite of a tuna sandwich.
2) Hold three things together in which one is spring loaded while attaching a fastener.
3) Have grease all over your fingers.
4) Brush your teeth.
5) Return someone's call.
This is why I've gotten better about looking at the caller ID before I answer a call. You have to weigh the benefits of finishing your meal vs talking to that person.
 
That is my business line. If people call a bike shop and the phone is not answered by the third ring, they just call the next place. That is why I get the most calls on the two days my paid 'sponsored' competitor is closed. I out rank them by over 110 reviews more and have higher rating at 4.9987 average stars. But they get more calls because of their paid rank placement. You can think of it as my tax on them. They know exactly what would happen if they stopped paying Google extortion rates for a month.

Absolutely! And the fastest way to end your wait in a phone queue — take a big mouthful of bagel.
 
Absolutely! And the fastest way to end your wait in a phone queue — take a big mouthful of bagel.
A toasted everything bagel with cream cheese, lox, capers, and dill with red onion and more. Just chew four times and the phone will magically ring with a deal that will make your month from someone you have never heard of, out of the blue.

Although I am currently not working for myself, I spent most of 30 years self-employed. Work-life balance is hard to achieve for the self-employed.

Okay, so today I was working on a Brompton folding bike. The owner has never cleaned the chain but has applied WD-40 every two weeks for years. You must handle the chain to get it on the complex chain tensioner. My hands were black. As soon as I applied hand cleaner and started working in the phone started ringing. While eating lunch with a couple of women, I was asked, 'Why don't you wear rubber gloves'? When I said that I have to feel what I am working on, they thought that was the funniest thing and almost fell out of their chairs laughing.
 
Would you remarry if I died? Yes, maybe. Would you let her use my custom golf clubs? Never! Why? She is left handed.
