Caddy style headlight seems right in place with this bike.

Bolted some old calipers I had sitting around on the bench. Too everyone's surprise - they worked.

What's Going On Here?

So, you're asking yourself - what the hell does the story about all this pain nonsense on the right hand side of the page have to do with all this cool bike building stuff on the left hand side of the page. Well, the answer is simple - the stuff you're seeing on the left and the story on the right were going on at the same time. Just like these pages.

I have to thanks the fabulous Wendy for not coming unglued during this tough part of our marriage. I wish I could thank ANY of the Doctors mentioned (without names, of course - because while I like to work on bikes I can still spell "lawsuit") The fact on the face of the matter is that NONE of these yahoos fixed my problem. In most cases they worked on me until they realized that they were unable to cure me and then the general response seemed to get rid of me as fast as possible.

If you've never tried to shoehorn yourself into an airplane seat for a four hour flight with extreme back pain problems - then you haven't really experienced pure, unadulterated agony. Well, by this time I had learned through experimentation that there was a short term cure for this. Pills.

So I threw caution (and label instructions) to the wind and just took what I needed to control the pain and get my job done. I never took enough to get high - just enough to keep me from screaming when we touched down. Unfortunately, this was more than what was printed on the bottle. And that means while I was saving the company, I was running through my "stash" faster than recommended by  Dr. Pain #1.
