Hey all bike folks! Back to about 95%. Lesley is still sick. So I have been sleeping in the 2nd bedroom. The 2nd bedroom is the cats room. So I have to fight her every night. I guess I am bigger so, after a while, she stops bugging me to leave. So far, besides that, I have two really good night's of sleep. Almost all the way through the night. I don't think lesley will let me continue sleeping over there when she gets better...

Yeah , but would be noticeable. Have to laugh at the instructions.Given the fact that a majority of people installing these don't know the difference between a claw hammer and a screwdriver. They tell you , in normal stud and S/R homes to cut out the sheetrock and install a 2x8 between the studs and replace the s/r then spackle.....yeah right!!!!

No, he died 26 yrs ago when he was 67. My dad would do anything, but it was really shitty work, but he would try. I used to drive him crazy because I had to do it right. He used to tell me " What are you building a piano?"...He would tell me " Look, i can't do the stuff you do, but I'll be right behind you cleaning up".... Damn...I miss him!!! I got my first tattoo this year in honor of him...His nickname was " Barracuda" ..that's what we called one another ...
