  1. Door bell rings I think its sis. I open the door and its
    one of the bike riding kids. He about 11 years old. Can you put a new
    chain on my bike he replies. Go get it. Hes back in a flash bike and
    chain in hand. Wheres the old chain I ask, I usally use it to check the
    length of new chain. So I go about doing work wanted and I see a few
    things that need trighting headset,crank,seat,and post. I trighten
    everything needed when the kid says what you doing. The wife is sitting
    near by saying he is just making sure it safe for you to ride. I find
    out the next day his mom and mom's boy friend sent him over my place to
    get the work done. At least someone knows I'm a wrench late in the
    evening.

    Just wait... your other \neighbor\ will be sending over their newborn,
    so you can breast feed it.

    A very civic-minded and selfless act, Fred. As long as the Good
    Samaritan Law protects you in that case, you should be ok in case the
    kid wipes out and the cheapo parents decide to try and sue you.

    Bingo. Also good the wife was there so no one can claim something bogus
    happened.

    It sucks, but that's the way things are nowadays...

    That's a nice thing to do. I work on a lot of my friend's bikes, but
    the kids around my neighborhood are too busy playing video games.

  6. Never had a chain in my fleet of 9 fail yet. And in the
    days before I got a chain tool I used pin punch and hammer. And for
    sure you don't know what a kid will say or do in todays world.
    And JD broke my code by calling me Fred.

    I've never broken a chain while riding, either. I guess I'm not that
    strong.

    You said your grandson calls you Fred Fred.

    Ever since you changed from your real name to "crazy", I'm sure several
    of us knew who you were. Your charm is unmistakable.
