What's the parts status? Is there anything else you're still needing?

InaneCathode · « **Reply #59 on:** February 29, 2008, 08:53:51 PM »

Aight lemme know

Jack will do that sort of thing

I bet most people would have shoved the bike in the corner and just been sour over it.
Not you. You got right back to work it and haven't looked back.

Good for you

Matt.

when it rains . . . . .

i come home from work yesterday , walk in and instantly smell natural gas

. so first off i open all the windows and doors . then head for the basment . before i can get to the light switch i step into water up to my knees . . . . . . . . , AAAAH
the sewer backed up , witch put out the pilot light ,

so i call city , they come out and tell me the house has to be boarded up , so i'm pretty busy for awile ,

what a sh1tty month i'm having

Cvillechopper · « **Reply #65 on:** March 04, 2008, 10:01:26 AM »

That SUCKS!!! At least the gas didn't ignite but I know that's of little consolation. The city give you any idea how long till you get back in? Homeowner's insurance putting you in a hotel?

Good luck on getting back to a state on normalcy. Keep us informed.

Wow, did you offend some voodoo practitioner recently??

Best of luck to you.

Spikeybike · « **Reply #67 on:** March 04, 2008, 10:22:38 AM »

insurance is gonna pay for a hotel, the city gave me no word on how long it would take.

i dont wanna be a charity case so i'll probably keep anymore of my woe's to myself
i look at it like this : something is testing me, dont know who or what ,wheather it's God or Buddha, or whatever (not very religious) but SOMETHING is testing me , and i WILL pass

mark my words i will ride this season dammit

mattcb350f · « **Reply #68 on:** March 04, 2008, 01:11:26 PM »

Geeeeez, a bad month all around.

Things will turn around for ya Spikey, I can feel it

Why do these things always seem to come in waves? I don't get it. I had a crapy week a few weeks ago but it seems like nothing compared to yours.

Keep your chin up.

Matt.

Wow.

You are being tested. It's a good thing you have the perserverance of a.... saint, savant, and artist

Wishing you and your family all the best, and all the strength you need, in your continued trials.
