Daniel asked me the other day if I was happy at my tube patching job, and it got me to ponderin.

The job itself is hard, and it's outdoors, it's hot and I stand a lot. I mangle those dead tubes around and get glue all over my hands and brake cleaner in my eyes. It's not fun.

But the best part of the job is that I have integrated into a smooth running organization of great people, that I really enjoy working with, and nobody has to patch a tube this summer!

Yesterday my little container was jammed with flat tubes, the customers are being rough on us, and the creek is down.

This would have been hard for the staff to deal with, between doing their own jobs, and patching tubes, so my effort is worthwhile.

It's also great to be around a bunch of happy customers, in their bathing suits, ready to enjoy themselves on a Shoal Creek adventure.

We are now down to three weeks of three days (Fri, Sat, Sun), ending with Labor Day.

I can handle ten more days, and the answer to your question Daniel, is a solid Yes!
