Woot whoo !

I'm off starting at 4 pm until Monday then I only have to work for 2 days then I'm off for 5 days. Then I work for 3 days and I'm off for 3 days.

I love it around the holidays...I get to use up days that I can't carry over.
It makes it for a bunch of very short work weeks.

That sucks when you run into issues & problems that shouldn't be there in the first place. But usually there will be something that impedes your time.

How much is the endlink cost ?

No need to quote the pics. But what do you mean? The brakes still look small with the wheels?
