I have been trying to ride
For my 40th birthday I really wanted a new bike. I had the Klein since 1990. That is a long time...3 rear derailleurs, broken frame twice and rode over a hundred miles. I really skipped years at a time without significant mile. I told Teresa everything I could to get a new bike:
1. I would lose weight
2. I would stop looking at bikes on the Internet
3. I would ride the 3 state 3 mountain challenge
4. If I had a new bike I could ride up our mountain.
Well I did get a new bike and it is the bike of my dreams. We also got a great deal from Jensonusa in California. I got a 2007 Bianchi 928 with SRAM Rival. Full Carbon. Awesome.
I received the bike in March and have stopped looking at bikes and did the 3 State. I have logged about 200 miles this spring including up our mountain 3 times. I did the challenge in thunder storms. I have had a tough time getting on the bike with rain and child care. I have enjoyed it when I have been on it. I am heading up to Iowa June 7-8th to do a 200+ mile ride with Ken. I am in big trouble. I am going on a group ride today 35miles and am riding Saturday and Sunday next week. I need to get on it!!!!

Oh My

I have really been busy...selling and shipping Webkinz, work and spending time with the family. We have sold 61 Webkinz. We are getting close to even on what we have put in...we have 60 more to sell. Our inventory continues to grow. If we see them we buy them now that we know they will sell...we ship them mostly to the Northeast.
Idol gives back was rough. In the middle of the show as Teresa was crying and I was right behind her...she said it makes me want to go hug our babies...they were sleeping. We have so many reasons to appreciate what we have.
I am not surprised by no one getting cut. In fact within 10 minutes I was saying how I didn't think they could cut someone.
This is the week I usually am at National bowling. It is in Reno this year and I really like bowling at the big stadium. I always pretend that I am Munson from Kingpin. I cancelled my spot in November. I really am missing it more than I thought I would. I was on a great team.
Have a great day.

Wacky for Webkins

A few weeks ago I bought Teresa a Webkins Cat that looked like Sassy. We had Sassy put to sleep and I thought is would be nice. Teresa got hooked on the games, feeding her cat and decorating her cats room. I later bought her a dog and got her one in her Easter basket. We looked on e-bay and found that they are hard to find and are double the price. So we decided to load up and sell on e-bay.
I have them at work in the gift shop...so I bought 30 and Teresa and her friends went all over town and bought them up. I got kicked out of a store for trying to buy a bunch after Teresa was there. That is a low point in my life...who am I Beanie Baby guy? As Timora might say "I am so Ken Klein right now". We have sold everything we have posted at a profit between 35% to 210%. I am posting Webkins every 6-8 hours and moving em out...My big fear is getting stuck with a bunch of worthless stuffed animals. I have made a spreadsheet to keep track of our 113 Webkins. My measurement is what % profit are we at vs investment...we have collected (82.94%). Have a good weekend.
