My (former) employer decided they no longer needed me so I'm in the "out
of work" category. Not having anything mindless to do at a political, in-
fighting company leaves me with plenty of time to ride.

Anybody up for a ride Thu or Fri?

We lost a guy today. Know how to run a CNC lathe?
In regards to the ride, I'ld love to, but my dance card is currently
full for those days. That, and I've got a really square back tire. I
should put my tire in one of the lathes and round over those sharp
corners.

Best of luck to ya man.

Well I could use a bit of help with the front porch (spalling) ;^) I
could throw some venison on the grill or lamb instead. All we gots to
do is mix up 90# of concrete, pour and level. How hard could it
be? :^)

p.s. Oh and there are some FUN rides around these parts.

Heck Keith, that sounds like fun. Do you have employee medical coverage
for when I blow out my knee or back? ;-}

I appreciate the offers - I'd say I'm more qualified gynecology assistant
job. Very familiar with those parts for a a long time now. Yea, I
suppose the work could make me hard, I mean BE hard. ;-)

Lessee, Valkyrie work - yup, could do that as long as certain members of
this group take riding lessons or just leave it parked to be admired.
Heck, even aircraft maintenance would be ok - planes work on some or the
same principles as bike engines, yeah, I could do that.

Not sure about the law enforcement gig though - where ever I would be
working would have some major PR damage control to do.

Are pharmaceuticals included with the gyn job? I'm in (or will be in
soon). 8-0

Prompt appropriate care on site and a FREE ride to the hospital, which
is all of 3-4 blocks. Can't recall...just say your foot slipped and
the bike dropped on you. ;^) Instant insurance coverage!

Oh and you might even be able to talk me into making a homemade
gooseberry pie. Home grown, organic and picked by virgins during the
dark of the moon.
