    I work with this old engineer Ojay.
    he is a bluegrass/country musician, plays the pedal steel guitar, banjo, guitar, and vocals.

    anyway.. he had a flat yesterday, I rode over, plugged his tire, and helped him figure out the tire size, and how to look up tires and stuff for replacements in the coming months.

    he shows up at our office party cookout today( he was on vacation) and brought me his martin backpacker, said he never played it and wanted me to have it.

    i was blown away.

    so now i can annoy you with terrible sounding music around the campfire!

    welp, Stuckin came out to the shop today and we mounted a new 606 on the rear, adjusted his SAG some (he said it was a pain in the ass..was for him, not for me! :D ) then I took him on a short dirt ride in Madison Co..introduced him to Petey and then helped him load up for his trek back to BellaVista (in the traffic no doubt :eek1 )...I think he enjoyed the day despite all the hammerin..he got concerned when I whipped out the lube tho..wonder why? :dunno

    Thanks Doc for your time today. And thanks Travis for the use of space and tools. I learned a lot today. Fixing the sag really does suck. But Doc did help keep the bike up for me. Also after 20 mins of hammering he said maybe some spray might make it easyer :huh It did go better after the spray. But dam it had to move a bunch to get it where is needed to be. The look on Docs face when he pulled his fingers out with some lub made me a little scared. Told Travis to come help if it got out of hand. He said he would just close the door and go home for a while :cry The riding was a lot of fun. Hopefully i did not make Doc go to slow. The roads are a lot of fun to ride around there. Cant wait to get out and ride more.

    Thanks again Doc and Travis
