SUPER RAT MACHINE WORKS

so, my friend casey was telling me this story the other day that had absolutely nothing to do with hippies or sandals but he did touch on the fact that real hippies don’t (or didn’t) wear sandals. he had this science teacher in high school that pointed out that real hippies had to wear tennis shoes so they could run from the cops (or the man or the fuzz or whatever is the proper period terminology). thus hippies that wore sandals were posers. i’m just saying…
i don’t have a good segue from that story to the end of the year post i’ve been thinking about so i’m not even going to try to hide it.
steve crandall posted a good end of the year summary over at
www.fbmbmx.com

and i quote- “Plenty of ups, plenty of screw ups, some proud success’, as well as our fair share of failures.” that seems to sum up our year over here. and being on the other side looking back, all the things that have happened this year have led us in a positive direction. alot of changes have been made behind the scenes so to speak. my new wife courtney has been hard at work organizing the office, making sure we’ve got all the proper paperwork and putting into place procedural things that make the shop operate more efficiently. we’re concentrating on making fixtures that make the most of the new vf-1 as well as the ol’ tm-1. we’re addressing problem area’s in our overall process, in order to keep a consistent delivery schedule. the problem areas sometimes hide but when they rear their head it can be ugly. we do the best we can and try to improve as we go along.
i’m looking forward to this year, it is after all the year of the (super) rat and i believe good things are on the horizon…

happy new year everyone.
