anybody sold anything through facebook? I love the ad exposure through their classifieds, but I couldn't add shipping without apparently creating a "buy order" dealio. Now somebody clicked "buy" and shit's all fucked. He's paying more and I'm getting less money, and facebook wants my bank account. Before I cancel his order and tell him to go through paypal, thoughts?

From left to right,

Yours truly, @jimmydean, The infamous frame builder Oscar Camarena, and @boostindoubles

If you havent heard of Oscar I suggest you read this little tidbit https://journal.brooksengland.com/how-big-do-you-want-me-to-be-simple-bicycle-co/

Pretty sure the property value went down 30% while they were all here.
i'm assuming this was after the cj because you're all smiling

It was more of a poo flinging party than a CJ, I believe the username dropping was like Salt Bae, the 80/20 thread came up with mentions of @sikocycles @buckoW and even @Westy was mentioned along with several others.

And that was after phone calls with @sunringlerider and @Full Trucker. Was connection day for the RM

We were trying to convince Oscar to join the collective since he actually builds bikes for a living. but apparently he is a very temperamental mexican that has a penchant for vulgarity and crude behavior, I said he would fit in great with the other 30 of us users, lol

All those RM metal junkies In one spot. I’d like to think I was there in spirit since JD was wearing one of my rings. And that should offset your 30% reduction in property value by at least 0.05%. So there is that...

I have to say, I have personally met most of the OG monkey crew and those that I havent I have at least been on the phone with or had some other interaction with and in all, it seems to be a very fun but yet unstable crowd. Kinda spicy.

I hope you've contracted with @stoney for your cabinets and counter tops.
I have outsourced the countertops, though I will be doing the plumbing. Cabinetry is back on the table though. Putting in shallow cabinets and a bookshelf under MIL1's kitchen bar, since she doesn't use the bar.

I scored a 3-n-1 welder and a plasma cutter for my shop. @gonefirefightin is heading for the hills and unloading cool shit at the curb. Oscar needs to get on the boards to tell everyone how terrible their jigs look, it will be fun.
