HEY!!!!

Give me that! Oh, well, it was just a Chinese factory made instrument anyway. Hasn't even been reworked. Too bad you broke the pegs off and budged the sound post or I could have played you some Bach anyway.

Sheesh.

(Hearing only silence and finding that the lap was nothing but an empty chair, black cat returns to ransacking the cooler for beer and bits of cheese.)

Hi Gang. Nice to see (?) you again Rob. I thought for a moment that you were talking about the dude who recently jumped over the battlements of a medieval castle...the guy who defended Ceausescu, and others of like lineage.....the guy used to wear a Dracula cape in public and displayed similar flare wherever he went..sorry I don't have the guy's name right now...will look it up...Grapje......now there's a priest for ya. I'll have one for him and Nobilus Hominem.

sputnik · Post by **sputnik** » Tue Aug 02, 2005 7:39 pm

OK I guess. I'm fixing up a bike I found in a dumpster a while back. Just stripped it down and painted it tonight. Got a problem with the front tire. Every tube I put in blows up.

Monkeypoo · Post by **Monkeypoo** » Tue Aug 02, 2005 7:46 pm

Thank you, Zule. Hiya Sput.

*slirp*

MmmMMmmMMmmmm.......yummy....

Martiansky · Post by **Martiansky** » Tue Aug 02, 2005 7:46 pm

Howdy everyone!!

Sput, a blow out prob? This may be a stoopid ? but is the rim strip there?
I picked up a bike for $10 and fixed it up! I'll be bringing tools a stand and a few spare parts with me...I can't be without some tools fer fixin'!

Hey Z...have you seen Marsie?

Martiansky · Post by **Martiansky** » Tue Aug 02, 2005 7:47 pm

MONKEY!!!

((SMOOCHES))

sputnik · Post by **sputnik** » Tue Aug 02, 2005 7:51 pm

Yeah M, the strip is there. I even put some electrical tape around first like the guy from a bike repair place demonstrated. I'm guessing it has something to do with the tire itself. I may replace that.

*Pours a tall glass of sangria and slides it down to Martian*
