So I am a construction worker, and I either make tons of money or almost noting with little to any in between and I am currently making pretty much the most I've ever made. So I decided to buy myself a buy once, cry once bike. A Cannondale Topstone Alloy 1 in - this is very important, Tiger eye orange.

Because an incompetent man-child decided to attack a country that supplies energy to most of the countries that make bikes it takes me a while to find any place that sells this bike in the size I need and the color I want. However I am able to find one I order it and I'm picking it up on the 3rd.

After paying and before picking the bike up I find out REI is having a sale on all Cannondales. If I was willing to forego the color I wanted I can save 20% and 5% cash back (credit card). I'm not doing that because A: I wanted the tiger eye dammit, B: REI has been union busting and I'm a union man and C: That AI image REI posted as an ad really pissed me off.

I'm just going through stupid effort to get a bike in the color I want and I had to tell someone who stupid I am.
