1) I never, ever revel to my spouse how much this stuff costs. She'd have me committed if it every
got out that I have four grand in a fricking *bicycle*.

2) As in Windsurfing, I try to keep the pile of junk in our garage big enough so it's less likely
that anybody will notice additions/deletions.

That was actually my fall-back plan, the State's un-employment benefit system would even pay for my
schooling.... if it was in a high demand field.... they call it "marketable re-education", or some
such sh!t.

I agree, the market sucks, but we're hiring.

A long long time ago in a State far far away. Hated it! Wrong department filled with a bunch of
really bad attitues. It was either get out while I still had some integrity or become one of
"them".... And if I have anything, it's my integrity, THAT is NOT for sale at ANY price

I work as a IT supporter. Well, it almost sort of pays the bills. Therefore some of the bike is
owned by the bank, but its almost mine now :-) I dont know how i do it, but so far its been possible
to upgrade it every month (fork, crankset, wheels and so on) There must be a bank account with a
whole lot of negative numbers i dont know of, but hey, as long as my bike rides as smooth as silk, i
dont worry that much.

LOL. I didn't even have to reply to start the sponsorship thing going again 😉

My techinique? Don't buy my own beer. I'll chip in a few bucks if my friends get good stuff, but
otherwise, I save a TON of cash there. I also had a girlfriend for a while who was filthy rich and
would never let me pay for stuff. That was fun for a while too 😉 It would be nice to have a bit
more cash to throw around at school, but I've already gotten so much enjoyment out of the blur (I've
ridden it at least 5 days a week since I built it), it was well worth it.

my funds are going to plummet soon though, because I have a bet with a friend... we have to get
dates every week, first one to fail, owes the other a sixer. Now, thats not that expensive... but
she's a girl, and she's hot, which means she'll have no problem getting dates, and I'm a guy, which
means I have to pay. Ouch.

BTW, bike shop is good if you're going to be buying stuff a lot - the pay is usually not horrific,
and you get smokin' deals on parts. Oh yeah, and coming in with tons of money saved up and invested
already doesn't hurt either! I saved at least half of every dollar I've made since I was 8 or so -
half of that went to college funds, the rest became spending money. I tapped most of the spending
money last year between school stuff and buying the Blur, but I've still got the money I made this
summer and last year.

Jon Bond btw, I wear smiths... I've already got two pairs, which is the only reason I didn't
buy Rudy's.

Are blue-collars' welcome here? ;-)

Carpet installation and repairs. Sales if I'm lucky. I've had a few sales + installs that landed me
$600-$800 per day. But not enough. :-(

Also do small vinyl, and have done laminate floor and VCT once.

I need to switch shops; the moron that took over scheduling can't figure out that I can do more than
a bedroom a day.
