sabbatical

well now. that was a wee might longer sabbatical from the blog than i anticipated. i am not even certain anybody even looks at blogs anymore - let alone this one. but, with my man T bates getting back into it maybe i will too.



this photo depicts how the summer has gone for me. the discerning eye will notice a pronounced S-bend there on the right seatstay of MK's sweet singular 29er. mind you, there are not many 17 y/o's who have an ultra-cool bike company design a prototype frame around them, and give it to them them pre-production to ride/test/own. indeed there aren't many people, period - but MK is one of them. of those few, it is a smaller subset yet who have their dad run the bike over with a mini-van and bend it all to shite. . . . . . . .

on the bright side . . . . . none other than Carl Strong has offered to fix said bike. Carl is a NAHMBS winner, and sits comfortably among the very very top tier of framebulders on this earth - if it can be done, nobody on this earth can do it better.

maybe a good omen. i needed one.

If Carl gets it done on time Karen could pick it up on her drive back from Seattle. She points east Friday but it will take 10 days before she's home. When's the girl off the South Bend?
