Anyway, I've learned in life that patience, beyond many things, is a trait that is many times overlooked but essential. The unpatient man (or woman) will miss out on things, hurt themelves, or in many cases make things a lot worse.
On top of this, when someone is doing you a favor you have no right to complain about it's duration. Tracy and PTP aren't doing this for money and, as it seems of late, certainly not their health. They are doing it for fun, history, and for something that we AOers can be proud of! What we payed for will be dealt with in full when it is finished. Until then, we have to wait.
It reminds me of a problem I had with my Mountain bike. For those of you that don't know, bicycles can have tubeless tires. The reason is basically that you can run a lower pressure without having to fear pinching the tube and breaking it, and it is less likely to flat in general.
Anyway, to make a bike rim tubeless it requires rubber "rim-strips" and sealant. At the bike shop, they didn't have the right size strips, they had issues getting them, had to send out the rims for sizing, went through this whole ordeal to get the strips, and this whole time the bike tech refused to charge me for bike storage or tire setup. After it was all set up, we realised that the tires I got were too big for my frame! So I got tires that were twice as expensive at the same cost (he refused to take more money), but they had to be back-ordered and didn't show up for a week. Then the rimstrip had trouble sealing...
All in all it took about a month to do a 2 hour job. The whole time my friends/family were telling me to go there, take my stuff, tell off the tech, and never go back. I never said anything.
And what do I have for it? Not a single flat tire since (a whole season ago), kick-butt tires, free checkups (re-seal), and the bike shop got a customer for life.
Long story for if you can wait, everything will pay off in the end.





only thing i have seen is the survival expansion....sorry about the smearing the mud around thing :spit_take
