T u e s d a y , S e p t e m b e r 5 , 2 0 0 6 New tires - why must it be such a chore to find a dealer willing to do tires and not rape you? Posted By CrudMop 4:09:27 PM
Ugh. Normally I do my own tires at a friend's garage - but due to bad planning, and an upcoming trip, I had to bite the bullet and go retail for new sneaks for the triple because I am leaving Thursday and needed them asap.
I went past Ramp Triumph, who had marked up the tires about 100 per tire! I eventually stopped off at another dealer, who took me in Saturday morning and did them pretty quickly. The guys over there are nice, and I don't mind paying them the $$ if someone has to get it.
However, I got raped. I don't mind paying an extra 50-100$ for both tires, but don't rape me for 45$ a tire for mounting! Normally, I'd expect that kind of installation charge if I brought my own tires with me, as I am pulling from their bottom line - but I am buying the tires from you! There's no way it took him a legitamate 1.25 hours (roughly the 90 bucks for hourly rate I paid) to swap out 2 tires.
I blame myself - but it's BS anyway.

Brought the motor out to the driveway to start cleaning it up. Eesh, this thing needs some help. After 6 hours of varying bags of steel wool, I got it looking pretty good, considering where it started. Here's a couple of "before" pics...

T u e s d a y , J u n e 1 3 , 2 0 0 6 Sing a song Posted By CrudMop 1:46:37 PM
Not too long ago, while driving the little one to the playground, I over heard her singing a bit of "The Romantics" in the back seat...
"What I like about you...
A homemade kite.."
I still wonder what that "kite" must look like in her mind - I mean, it must be fabulous if it is the one thing you like about the person. Personality, well, that's so-so - but his kite, WOAAAHH!! AND it's HOME MADE!!
Her lyrics are always so much better than the real ones :)

What do you call a herd of Giraffes all bunched together?
A Giraffic Jam.
What did the shy rock say?
I wish I was a little boulder.
Ahh, comedy from a 5 year old.
