mrc Posted July 12, 2009 Share #1 Posted July 12, 2009 I asked Squidley if he could help me with a problem I was having with my bike. He said sure and the date was set…The next morning I got up at 5:30am check the weather and saw a huge storm passing through Southern Ontario. I watched the storm track on the radar image and figured if I left between 6:30am and 7:00am I would pass through the narrow part and only have to ride in bad weather for an hour or so. I packed up and hit the road 5½ hrs later I was in Squids garage working on the bike. I was able to spend the better part of the day with him and his family who open their house to an almost complete stranger. School lasted until 5:00pm when we broke for dinner and then prepared to head home. Another 5½ hrs later (because I had to get back home that night) The bike was fixed and I was home safe and sound. Thanks again Squidley:clap2::clap2: 11hr ride - $40 gas Road trip in 2 Countries - $6 tolls An afternoon with the Newby Family = Absolutely Priceless:cool10: Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squidley Posted July 12, 2009 Share #5 Posted July 12, 2009 I dont think ive ever heard of them tell someone "no"..............which reminds me......hey Brad ya got an extra grand i could borrow??? NO....but if I hit the lottery I'll give you a call for how you want it sent Mark, It was great to be able to spend the afternoon with you yesterday, I'm glad to hear that some of the VooDoo we did to the bike helped out. I have said this to everyone here, the door is always open and if I can help someone and educate them at the same time it's a win, win. If your game on the sprocket for Jr's bike let me know as we can make that happen too. Looking forward to seeing you again and BTW....Thanks again for supper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I learned my lesson :bowdown: As god is my witness I didn’t eat until dinner tonight. I broke all the diet rules the stroke lady put me on with that meal. I felt like I could curl up like a chipmunk and sleep that one off. Note to self: don’t eat before meeting up with Brad and Lonna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
