I suspect facing forwards on the way down that funicular could be nerve wracking.

That little train car is trippy looking! I'm still trying to figure it out.

Thanks. There was blood on the garage floor where I cut mysellf about a dozen times getting into the tight spots to clean the undercarriage...

Thank you! My theory was to hit the major visible points someone would notice if they were standing in our booth at a show looking at it while we were pitching our services. Things like the nasty key rash around the big, silver handlebars, the crash bars, the mirrors, etc. I was going to pull the wheels and paint them, as the edges of the rims are chipped up from several not-too-careful tire changes, but figured it might be unlikely that someone would get down low and examine them. I compounded out the brake dust, so at least they're shiny silver and look good from far away.

Ready to represent! The boss was quite pleased with my refurbish work on the bike we picked for the display. I reminded him that I used to prep cars and trucks for show displays in my earlier career. And that he’s seen my personal bikes and knows by now that I do not abide a dirty bike. 

The show starts tomorrow, and I’m making multiple deliveries in 90s and low 100s today. I won’t mind standing standing in an air conditioned convention center for the next few days.

Gone, you are doing a damn good, bloody job!!
...are these containers truly leeak-proof, and does the blood not leak out of them during transport?... Every drop counts  Big Grin

Ha! Thanks.

I’m like The transporter.  
I don’t look in the box, I don’t ask about it the box. I just deliver the box.

Looks better than the one on the web site. Is that picture of the boss with his natty red laces? I like them.
