That
famous line by George Peppard, playing Hannibal Smith in the old series
The A Team. Usually when they've saved some scheme from certain disaster
by the skin of their teeth.
Well,
I wasn't flirting with disaster, but some things have kind of fallen
into place in the last few days, and it feels pretty good.
First,
the car that I just bought a week ago had the "check enine" indicator
light up the morning after I got it home. With all of 15 miles on the
clock since leaving the lot. Wow.
It's
a used car, with the "as-is/no warranty" sheet we sign on any
previously abused vehicle. I was a bit worried taking it in to get it
checked out. The dealership could have just said "tough luck" and fully
be within their legal rights. But they traced down the cause of the #3
cylinder misfire and replaced a few parts on their dime, with little
asking on my part.
That's the kind of service that will have me, if not going back, at the very least giving good rep to Auburn VW.
On
top of that, the insurance for my framebuilding business is in place.
That means my customers are protected should anything go seriously wrong
with a build. And it protects my family from the same.
But
one of the things that has got me really jazzed is my connection with Hopworks Urban Brewery. Dave Levy at TiCycles Fabrication indicated that
they'd be likely very willing to support the Lucky Deuce Gravel Crusher
in July, so I sent them an email. Within a couple hours I had a return
phone call, and we worked out some of the details. They're going to
supply some of their craft brews for the evening get-together! Free
beer!
So I'm riding a bit of a wave now. Feels good.
