Pat Pend.
     Later on that day, the creator had gone back into the workshop. He took upon himself to push the, "Thombogo Sunset Model 1996 Country Style Class" bike into the workshop. Yes, the rear wheel needed an overhaul. The creator placed the bike with its cabin on it under the hoisting chains. The hoisting chains were connected to the cabin's framing hooks. Once all connected, the docking clamps were loosen and removed from the bike's main frame. It was time to hoist up the cabin. The creator had this feeling that, this would be the last time had would hoist the cabin due to its weight factor on the bike.  
     The cabin was hoisted up. The creator was able to pull the bike away from the hanging cabin. The cabin was lowered onto the floor and then moved off to the side for storage. After the rear axel was removed from the wheel itself, the creator had taken upon himself to search for another axel in the work cabinet. He knew that, the dark years for survival were coming upon him and for his mother. He also knew himself that without any extra means of financial resources, even bicycle parts themselves would be considered to be expensive to purchase. If there is something to selvage and use, use it.
    After the creator navigated through the parking lots, he road across another busy street parallel to the south-side of the park. The creator managed to ride through the snowy grass until he placed his, "Thombogo Sunset Model 1996 Country Style Class" bike up against the canopy's support post. The creator got off while feeling humble about himself and walk towards one of the swings to sit. The creator needed to spend time by himself again. The creator was gazing over the field. A car with a trailer hitched in the rear had pulled off to the side of the street. A person got out of the car and had opened the trailer's rear door. The person stepped up into the trailer and walked up to the snow mobile. The person sat on the snow mobile, started it, backed it out of the trailer and road into the parks snowy field. The creator had a thought.

     Once the rear wheel was aligned, the creator needed to set the sprocket chain onto the five-gear sprocket. The sprocket chain was set in place and the rear wheel was tighten and secured to the rear frame. The creator spent an hour of his time to go through the process. The bike was lowered to the ground and the creator was ready to go. The creator decided to celebrate by going to his park the next day to swing for awhile. He felt that, it was a blessing that, he was able to replace the rear wheel axel himself rather having it done for him since he was low on funds. The creator couldn't count on his father to help him with the repair to the rear wheel axel since he was still being rehabilitated at rehab. The creator wasn't sure if he able contact some of his friends from school since most of them he knew had autos which, they were perhaps used to getting around in instead of relaying of a bike as he felt. What was the creator supposed to do?
     The creator sat there on the swing and looked at the person who was riding the snowmobile. Those type of vehicles are built for the winter weather as he thought. The creator sat on the swing and turned his head to look at his, "Thombogo Sunset Model 1996 Country Style Class" bike. He was looking at the rear wheel. He remembered the day when he designed and built that lubrication technology system into his bike. That type of technology wasn't just made to prevent the weight of cargo in the basket from snapping the rear wheel axel, it was also designed to repel any ice build-up and winter street salt build-up from going into the bearing case avoiding excessive wear and tear in the rear wheel axel casing. The creator had taken his eyes off his bike and decided to look back at the snowmobile being driven on the other side of the lake. The creator had wondered if the system which controls and maintains the snowmobile's ground belt doesn't have similar parts that would operate the same way since the snow and other winter elements would get up inside those areas too. 
     The creator got up from his duff while getting off the swing. He walked across the snow with his winter boots. The evening sun was going down more and more. The creator look up at the sky as snow flakes began to drift in the air. Another snow storm was forming all around the creator. He got on his bike and gazed back at the swings. He thought to himself of all the times he had visited the park during the spring and summer seasons, why didn't he ever meat someone. The creator looked at the park benches. He was thinking to himself why no buddy, if they were around or sat on those park benches, would notice him hanging at the park almost every other day for an hour or so. No opportunities for the creator to be involved. No buddy who would work at a human resource office who offer the creator a job nor would the creator would meet a girl. As for a job offer opportunity, the creator did sense that, something was breaking down in the job market but, he wasn't sure of what. He remembered a year ago when that man who was waiting for the bus stating that, diversity is the one of the main reasons why to job market is breaking down in the country along with the economy. As for meeting a girl, the creator looked at his bike as he was still sitting on it. Do women only notice a guy with a car rather than anything else as the creator thought. The creator remembered about his father's work place being closed down and condemned several years back due to the age of the building and the neighborhood it was in. How was the creator's father's boss or personnel suppose to get him, his son a job when they were closed two years before the creator's high school graduation? The creator was on his own. This was a risk which the creator had to take with-out choice.
     As poor the creator had felt, at least he had a home to go to. The creator peddled across the snow and out into the street. The creator had taken his usual route to get home. Later the evening, the mother drove her son to see his father at the rehab place. Issues were discussed referring to the creator's father's health and so on. The family gathering had lasted for an hour or so. The creator's oldest brother both came from out of town and wanted to hang out with their father too. While the creator was standing there in the room with his brothers and their own mother, he thought to himself, what is going to happen with himself when his father goes. He knows that, his both brothers have stuff going for them in their paths of life unlike himself at his young age. The creator thought about, of how his mother would be taken care of if or when their father does not make it through his current medical treatment.

     The creator headed off to the park that next very day knowing the winter air would be warmer to breath. During to his trip to park, he would pass by a high-school almost everyday. Looking at the school building everyday reminding of his high school days. As he had passed by the building another snow storm was heading on its way from the western sky. The clouds in that part of the sky were getting darker and darker. The creator didn't care at that point since he was happy that, his bike was working again. The creator passed by the school building and headed north bound riding on a sidewalk parallel to the west-side of the school yard. The creator had cut across the busy street going into apartment building parking lots. 
      The creator and his mom were home. The creator's mother felt exhausted while her son, the creator felt depressed due to the condition of his bicycle. His attention was drawn when he noticed the hole in the family van's window. He thought to him self of why would anyone break the glass, when there currently was noting to steel from the family van if, whoever was attempting to steel anything from the family van. This made no sense to the creator. A bunch of newspapers were taped to the truck as a cover. This would prevent any birds or animals from making a nest in the truck for safety issues.
     After taking the time to remove the bearings, nuts, washers and other parts which were screwed together onto the snapped axel, those parts then were installed over into the spear axel from the snapped axel. The creator had taken his time in the workshop to place the part piece by piece onto the spear axel. The axel was reinserted in the axel shell of the rear wheel. The inner position nuts were secured over the bearings while the outside main nuts were screwed onto both ends of the axel causing the inner position nuts to be equally secure as well. The whole axel was then re-positioned into the shell casing of the rear wheel. The creator aligned the rear wheel back to the bike's rear framing.
     A couple of days had passed on. Christmas day had arrived. The creator thought that, there would be some type of a miracle on that day since it is the birthday of the lord, Christ. He walked into the family room with his mother both hopping that, his father had bounce back from the treatment and would discreetly come home the night before, Christmas  to surprise both of them in the family room on, Christmas morning. Due to financial issues, there was no, Christmas tree nor, Christmas presents under the tree in the family room and his father was still at rehab. The creator's mother had walked out of the family room with tears in her sad eyes. The creator followed his mother into the kitchen to comfort her for a few hours. 
     Lather that, Christmas day, the creator spent his evening in his computer lab room. The most important issue was his father getting back in health and recovering. This didn't happen that day. He sat back in his thinking chair and pondered over the grayish colored, 8-bit, video game cartages. He was still thinking of selling his duplicate games at a video game store and collect the money to buy a car for himself. He was planning to this during the spring since looking at cars and meeting a girl would be the best time to compare cars in a lot and hang with a lady during the warm romantic season. The creator sat there in his chair looking up prices in the game catalog. The catalog was up to date so, the creator was able to fine out how much he would get from selling his games according to what the games were listed in the catalog. He knew that, in spring the prices for each video game would change due to new, updated games being made however, the creator naturally assumed that, he would still get a reasonable offer once the video games were sold. Will he get the car he's been asking? Will he meet the lady of his dreams? Will he get the job he wants? Will he get married and have children? Only time will tell.
