    Yep. Gotta support my homie.

    Besides, Thornton to Golden is maybe thirty miles. Maybe. Not sure what kind of bubble you exist in, Walrus, but thirty miles isn't a big deal. My shortest commute for work is longer than that.

    Google mapped it.

    Tfog Wheelsports is 25 miles from my house.

    For comparison, it's 28 miles to Ark Tactical and 29 miles to Bowers.

    There isn't any cool stuff on my end of town so I'm pretty used to having to travel.

    Was 65 mile trip to pick up the retro style tires I would like to put on MX.

    Probably going to wait if plans to ride with groups materialize. Old tires not worn out and better for more aggressive riding. Retro tires for casual riding and looks.

    Tfog is always worth the trip, can't beat the service.

    Just figured there would be plenty of places in Thornton for tires.

    I sold compton's britannica few days ago. I just need to sell 5 more regular britannica,time/life world artist ref book. Etc.

    I took over a new and like new britannicas last December. Ones that people want get rid of. I was about to keep one for my kid, but my kid wont even touch it. This is coming from kid who likes to read.
    It sure does make the book shelf pretty with those books.

    Good luck! Years ago I played travelling encyclopedia salesman for Macmillan Publishing. Sold 1-3 sets every day in door to door sales in 6 states. Decent product sold by a canned presentation taught me a lot about sales. Now I see those sales techniques from a mile away.

    Again, good luck Mr. Prena.
