However, I was joined by a new ally...Joe, who had finally returned from the Intel International Science Fair. Finally someone who can help me! So, mindless sorting turned into a bit of light-hearted fun. ALRIGHT, so I may have exaggerated a little bit.
But things were definitely improved having a partner at hand. We continued to collect sample parts for the classroom, used to educate the select public who wishes to learn more about bikes and bike repair by taking mechanics' classes here at the coop. These samples would range from rusted cables that couldn't shift well because they weren't smooth enough to move easily in their housing (a protective tube covering them), to worn out brake pads with chunks of metal (from the wheel's rim) stuck in them. There was a lot of repetitive labor, but in the end we ended up ahead of schedule with valuable tasks completed. I was content to say the least.
Finally, at the end of the day we loaded up the truck with cheap bike materials intended to teach school children the next day on bicycles. I'm going to help out with that assembly, if it is indeed a school assembly, or wherever else they need me. I'll be up by 8:00 a.m. tomorrow morning...the earliest I've been up for anything work-related since school ended! Wish me luck...
