If you are not willing to risk the usual you will have to settle for the ordinary. ~Jim Rohn

Wake Up Now

Do you need any of the following:

• Develop an income that allows you to leave your current 
employment or business—how much income will it take 
monthly?
• Develop residual income for retirement—how much do 
you need?
• A new car—what is the make, model, color?
• A new home—can you describe it?
• Become debt-free—when and how?
• Grow personally—what skills and characteristics do you 
want to develop?

If so then you need to look at this .

Bike Shop Stuff

This is an old Western Flyer Tandem Bike that has really been let go. I picked it up for 100.00, which really was more than it is worth, but I can fix it up to look great. It is really not worth much even if I restore it to new condition. I checked Western Flyers on Ebay and there really is very little market for them. If it was a Schwinn it would be worth 500.00 in the same condition.  

I am probably not going to "restore" it like I would if it were a Schwinn or other high profile bike, but I will change out the tires, saddles, and pedals to start with, just putting new or good used in place of the worn out stuff. Then I will removes the chrome parts and everything off the frame and either paint it or have it painted. If I can find someone that does it cheap enough I will have it powder coated. I have to check at Home Depot and see if we have some stuff called Metal Restore. It is suppose to be great at removing rust and this bike has plenty to be removed. 

Once I have everything cleaned up, lubed and the stuff that is worn out replaced I will decide whether or not to paint or do powder coating. 

Park Tool School

Have not decided on the dates yet, but I will soon be setting up some special bicycle training programs that are based on the Park Tool School Curriculum. The YMCA in Tifton has agreed to be one of our "sites" for these and I am hoping to have some at the bike shop also. 

Bible Verse from Devotional

2 May the table set before them become a snare; may it become retribution and a trap. 23 May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see, and their backs be bent forever. 24 Pour out your wrath on them; let your fierce anger overtake them. 25 May their place be deserted; let there be no one to dwell in their tents. 26 For they persecute those you wound and talk about the pain of those you hurt. 27 Charge them with crime upon crime; do not let them share in your salvation. 28May they be blotted out of the book of life and not be listed with the righteous. 29 I am in pain and distress; may your salvation, O God, protect me. 30 I will praise God's name in song and glorify him with thanksgiving. 31 This will please the LORD more than an ox, more than a bull with its horns and hoofs. 32 The poor will see and be glad-- you who seek God, may your hearts live! 33The LORD hears the needy and does not despise his captive people. 34 Let heaven and earth praise him, the seas and all that move in them, 35 for God will save Zion and rebuild the cities of Judah. Then people will settle there and possess it; 36 the children of his servants will inherit it,and those who love his name will dwell there.

Hope you all have a great day
