so I'm riding home and I can feel that the front tire isn't right, cant explain it but it felt wrong.

I pulled into the garage and check the Tire pressure and the tire again, its got some cupping so I figure, hey no problem, I have a new tire sitting in the garage let me whip it off and I'll swing by the local mechanic and have him swap it while I'm at work tomorrow. ( I always keep a spare set of tires handy)

well while removing the wheel I notice my pads are a tad bit worn, still tolerable, but while the rim is off might as well swap them out, so dang I guess a trip to the dealer or I could order and wait a few days...but wait, I remember I bought a set of brake pads for my 2001 sprint 955 and never installed them before I sold the bike, what would the odds be that they are the same.. sho nuff.. exactly the same, and even listed as such on the website for the brake pads I had..

what are the odds. and to think I almost gave them away when I saw a guy on a sprint at work the other day..glad I kept them now
 
My wife and I both work shifts, and have 4 kids.. we have a cup of coffee in the morning and I help her pack her lunch at night...

getting lucky for me is having a spare roll of toilet paper already in the bathroom when there is only one sheet on the roll

I need a vacation like you wouldn't believe. I seriously don't know when the last time I got more then 5 hrs sleep was
