Oh crap Pee Chees!

Did everyone else doodle on that. I think I spent all of 8th grade Algebra drawing on that folder.

Maybe. That's AWFULLY early to get up on a weekend though! Send me your digits and I'll call you in the AM to let you know if I'm on my way!

I'm in the middle of cleaning up my frame right now but I'm getting burnt out. Polishing by hand with no bike stand is ANNOYING! It does look pretty darn good though.

Loop'n on my Heckler

Ladies & gentlemen, I'm screwed. I have my '88 Univega Range Rover -18 all pretty lookin' and one of my best customers called this afternoon..........

........We made them two 14-foot long linear bearing shafts with 18 pairs of holes drilled into the shaft with each pair being 15-degrees off center. No problem - a perfect job (until they tried to install). It seems Mr. Engineer made a VERY big mistake on the drawing. All of the 3/8" drilled holes were supposed to be 5/16"-18 tapped holes.

If anyone would like a lesson (or 72 consecutive lessons) on how to helicoil a hole, here's your opportunity.

Yeah, they were cool and let me have until tomorrow at 3pm to finish - so we're pulling some late and early hours. How nice.....

John, maybe give the flag to Gene or another 'Loop regular and I'll pick up later. Thanks.

Or which store brand it was (Lady Lee or something?) It was in some supermarket's generic line I think, I remember always seeing it when I was a kid shopping with my folks.
Anybody remember Brew 102?.... or Hamm's??

Drawing all over those things was a favorite pastime of mine too. Amazing what kind of crazy sh!t my junior high mind could come up with. FYI, I can't take credit for this one.

As a kid, I remember White Mart or Yellow Mart carrying the generic beer. White can with "BEER" in blue lettering and a UPC code. I think it was either 69 cents or 99 cents for a 6-pack.
I remember if you wanted to be gangster you had a pee chee folded and in your back pocket.
