The monkey's paw

The curse has lifted after paying homage and fare to the train God. The worst luck week may be over and tonight, Friday, it's raining so some deity or deities is or are telling me to stay off my bike. That doesn't mean I can't get it fixed though. The troop (wife, child,and I) took my bike to it's place of purchase. The Great Jinganebike shop. The place that I have grown to love. I had completely gone in over my head trying to repair shifters, new chain, cables, brakes and derailleurs by myself (30 minutes before I had to go to work). I have been riding at 52/15 for the week and it sucked. We left the bike there after some chat and came back an hour later to a completely reworked bike and new parts. The price they asked was ￥１２００　($14.59 CDN) which is impossibly low. After some haggling we got them to add the new brake pads and some of the labour charge bringing it to ￥3000. An amazing deal considering he adjusted checked the stem and frame for bendy bends. Very happy to have gone there today and I am really stoked about tomorrow's trip tosekidobashifor the flea market. I have to drink beer now so I can be in bed by 10pm. Later
