Pete, I hope your episodes are something minor. 
FTE Parts guy, very sorry to hear about your wife leaving.
.
And now for some good news.
One of the mechanics that works next door drove up on this bike today.
I thought at first it was simply a mid life crisis, but then he told me that he built the thing himself!
The cleanliness and attention to detail won him first prize at the Snohomish meet.

He does have it for sale, but I have no part of that, I'm just very impressed with the way he built this bike. Every hydraulic line is hidden or recessed.
Not a drop of oil anywhere on the bike.

The kid really deserved to have it thrown in his face again. Except the ref probably would've yellow carded the thrower if he did it again.

what i find even dumber than standing there and getting hit is the fact he did not learn his lesson, and stood there watching it almost happen again 2 minutes later!!

Of course I probably would've gotten a yellow card for that though. (Yellow card means you get thrown out of the game for 15 minutes and your team cannot sub in for you)

I used to have some of that. Then I found FTE and everyone decided to help me spend it. 
Steady work doesn't start again until August if they want me back there even. I can't imagine they wouldn't. The lady who wrote my checks likes me so we should be good to go. She controls staffing their little store. Hopefully I can get them to let me out into the packing house to run a forklift for a while and maybe pick up a few hours that way.
I'd be happy just running a string trimmer around all the buildings cleaning everything up a little.

In that case, yes, it would make me feel MUCH better.
You have a scanner hooked up checking for codes.
