Today I felt like Eli Wallach's Tuco from The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.
Remember that scene where he needs a pistol? He has a shop keeper take all of the guns out of the display case, and he takes them all apart, checks each barrel, cylinder, etc, and makes a pistol out of the best parts from each of them.
We're going to a medical trade show next week with a very small booth, and will have one of our delivery bikes front and center as the main display. So I went to the boss' house today and took the newest bike in the fleet and gave it the best looking pair of side cases from one bike, the best looking transport container from another bike, and the seat that I just recovered yesterday from a third bike.
I told everyone to leave me alone in the garage for the next couple of days to detail it, sand and repaint the crash bars, touch it up, and rig up jumper wires to the flashing lights to run them on a power supply at the show.

You know what? I actually would like a pickle.
