I think we should move one of our compressors to the downtown space, and then I'll buy us some fittings for tire inflation.  I've gotten my fourth flat in a month, last fix just Friday.  Mutter.

Anybody happen to have left a bike pump at the downtown space?  I don't see one just looking around, or in the stinky room.

I'm going to go eat a calzone, change my tube, and then go looking.  I'll walk it home before I burn my C02 cart in the middle of town.

Dental compressors are ultra quiet (ever heard one at a dentist's office?). I have one, but it has bad rings a blows oil, so it needs to have the oil checked all the time, which is not good for community use.

Here's a cheap one: http://amzn.com/B0038MWDXY

I think it would be a great idea to have a manual bike pump at the
downtown space.

I just ordered one on Amazon for $27, and it will be here Wednesday.
I'll keep it at the space semi-permanently and anyone is welcome to
use it.

I have an older piston type compressor at the shop I can donate. It should run fairly quietly, far quieter than the newer oil less type that are deafening. It needs a new power cord and some cleaning up. I'll take a look at it later today to see if there is any other problem I am forgetting .
