its been another crazy week around Pandapas-land. A friend and co-worker Kaiyak quit the company, and we had a going away party for him Thursday night at the local Owl House. Being the good friends we are, we made sure the employees knew it was his "Birthday" and gave him the attention he deserved.
Friday night he came over to work on his bike in the Pandapas shop. He busted the seat tube on his old Raliegh and had bought another frame. We transferred the parts over to the new bike, and consumed some beverages.
Bald Boy Wonder came down this weekend for the Arcadia Trail work that got postponed to May. Instead we did more bike work. Went to Caster "Big" sale Saturday morning then rebuilt the headset on his mtbike, and swapped out the fancy aerobar brakes and shifters to equally fancy(to me) shimano 105 STI brakes/shifters
After we finished up all the regular bike work we kicked off a Top Secret project in the Pandapas Skunkworks. I'm hoping to get it working in the next couple weeks, in the meantime here is a spy photo of BBW contimplating our next move. Here's a hint: this vehicle will have massive cargo capacity. And weigh a ton.
Mrs 40 had planned to go out with some of her co-workers to a bar and dragged BBW and I with her. It worked out well for Bald Boy Wonder... a little while after we got there a couple cuties walked over to our group, one of them pointed to him and said (more of less) "I want thaaaat one". Good for him. Ended up talking to her all night.
Today it finally stopped raining so BBW and I went riding. Nothing fancy, just down to the river, out to the lake, then kept riding on the Trestle trail.
The date for the 3rd Annual FARTAB is set: June 16th and 17th.
FARTAB (Float Along the River Tipping Alot of Beers) is always a great time, we're expecting a much bigger turnout this year. Take friday the 16th off, and start looking for a kayak or a canoe to use for the weekend. The routine is mountain biking Thursday night, then out to the Owl House for wings and beer, then a special breakfast, then on the river by noon Friday. This year we're planning a less strenuous route, and going to the Multisport Day at Lincoln Woods on Sunday June 18th.
I'll post some pictures from last year when I get a chance to scan them in.

*sniff* Goodbye- sweet, sweet Cobra Kai... Boy better be staying local...
Way to go BBW- sounds like you guys got it on. I am thinking about posting my activities from down at the ATL the past 5 days, but right now it is a jumble. I suppose I can give everyone a hint: when the wife called Tuesday morning I wasn't able to say that I did NOT spend the night before at the Playboy TV party drinking with a certain downhill skiing star. And that was just Monday night, nevermind what happened on the weekend...
Dearest Blog Poster,
I believe you have violated the Blog Regulations "Section X.2.ii.v.", which states that only major topic may be discussed per blog posting. It appears as though this posting has two distinctly differently stories/topics involved. According to Regulations, there should be a "Cobra Kai's Going Away Owl Party" and a "Creation of the Secret Operative Bike with the Great and Sexy Bald Boy Wonder" posting. Please try to keep these subjects separate in the future.
Much appreciation,
Blog Management
