Default Spoke no more

Couldn't find my spoke wrench for the longest time. So I head off to
the LBS to get a replacement. The shop has a hard time locating them
too. Finally I leave with a wrench and something in need in a bright
yellow bag. I get home I look even harder for rthe old wrench. I find
it and lay it on top of a few magazines. I return later its gone. So i
ask the grand kids and the 6 year old say I was playing with it and
chucked go get it. Now I got 2 two and their on the tool board.

I guess that's better than the dog eating it.

Now you can teach the whole family how to build wheels. Like a quaint
little New England sweat shop.

That dog would need an operation just because that wrench is non
passable.
