I learned that people are good. Back in May, I loaned a seat to 09LowSporty and basically said he could keep it rather than bother shipping it back. I had no plans of using the solo again so thought I'd just let him keep it.

Well, to my surprise, I had a box waiting for me when I got home. At first I thought it was something from a weekend beer-bay purchase. But I opened it up and found the seat I gave away. He didn't have to do that, but in retrospect, I'm glad he did!

I learned.......this is the week from hell. However, now don't be disheartened, I try to maneuver around / over obstacles without missing a beat. Sadly, I did miss a beat....had to take off Wednesday morning to go to the dentist as the dentist is not open during my off time. The whole dental thing had to be done. Also, my heater quit working......all week until this morning I had to shower freezing my ass off.....but I did get the heater fixed last night. My car broke down leaving a clients home on Tuesday....limped it into town....scrambled around and found another vehicle to drive.....sadly I was 30 minutes late for my next appointment. But my broke down car had an appointment to get fixed by the time I did head out to that next appointment. I figure all in all......I actually managed it all pretty well. Although today two of my clients said I was looking pretty frazzled....one even made me stop for a second while she fixed my frazzled looking hair.....LOL....that was sweet. Oh how could I forget this, last night my doggie pist all over my bed......I guess she's been having a heck of a week too.....LMAO.....can you imagine.....pissing right in the middle of my bed!!!! I didn't actually catch her doing that but if it wasn't her then just who the heck did that???? I'm actually looking forward to 12 noon tomorrow....quittin' time for the weekend. YAY !!

I've learned once again that just because someone is not in your life today that it doesn't mean they are not in your thoughts.

<☺> I Learned that: I think is is possible that it may be my overrun clutch might be the reason my bike wont start.

<☺> I Learned that: in 30 days I move into my new apartment and start living as a bachelor.

I've learnt that good customer service does exist. Two companies this week have sent out new pieces to replace those which were defective - without me having to return them first. "Throw the old ones away", they said.
