Default a long night...

I've been very busy today, but this afternoon while I was working on a project (had to assemble a dolly/hand truck for our biggest customer for a demo, custom job aka PITA) a friend showed up on his ZZR wanting me to help him adjust his chain. I don't mind too much, shouldn't take just a few minutes. Well I juggled working on my project and showing him how to adjust the chain for a while, everything went fine but it was getting dark by the time we both got finished. He started to leave but turned around before the end of my driveway and came back to the shop. Turns out he had a completely flat front tire. We filledit up with air and located the leak, a small puncture in the center of the tire but it was too muchfor him to make it home (about 45 miles from my house, we both live in the boonies on opposite sides of town). Luckily for him I have a tire changer and a crapload of moderately used front tires(mostlyrace tires but I've gotsomeused street tirestoo). All my tools arein my camper from a race weekend a couple weeks ago because I've been too damn busy to unload it (went to daytona for 3 or 4 days and Houston for a couple days, its just been crazy)and the trailerdoor is blocked in by a couple company trucks, bikes,and misc other projects so we had to change his tire with whatever random tools I could find around the shop. Wedidn't get done until about 9:30, ittook around an hour and a half to do what should have been a 10 minute job but we had to do it in the dark with crappy tools.I was already tired as hell and now I'mmajorly exhausted.

On theplus side Ipicked up a tag formy newMonster695 and bought an iPhone (need the good internet for race weekends and traveling)
problem with the iPhone isI have to updateiTunes over dial-up which has now been downloading for two hours and is about 10 minutesfrom being done, so I might actually get this thing working tonight!

anyway, thats all for my rambling tonight...
