Guys, the bbq scene in Central TX has changed quite a bit in recent times. Y'all should read up on it. The good news is there are even more choices for incredible, award winning bbq. Everyone wins.

Today I passed a dude on a unicycle, he was pedaling and reading a book at the same time. Kind of impressive.

How can you even round off the flats on a pedal axle ? I mean, really ? I've never ever ever seen that happen, and I've removed dozens of pedals of all types over the past 40 years. Did you use a proper pedal wrench ? Did you use the correct end of the wrench ? Some pedals are metric 15mm rather than the more normal 9/16". Even if the threads were seized, you should have been able to break it loose before rounding the flats on the pedal. The crankarm aluminum threads will strip out before the steel axle on the pedal gives way.
I have removed a lot of pedals as well, maybe not quite as many as you but then again I haven't been doing this for 40 years so I have some catch-up to do ; )

I've worked at a co-op before. It was pretty cool. Got to work on old bikes, repacking hubs, recabling and overhauling. It would be nice if I got paid for it

Dude - donating your time, effort and expertise to those in need is the point. For some people, a reliable bike is a way out of poverty.

Watched pros install a granite countertop with sinks and faucets in the master bath, swapped in a newer kitchen refrigerator, and interviewed a listing agent to sell our house.

If you don't end up with the job, maybe ask if you could work for free. Just like, 3 hours a day for two days a week, or something. You'll be able to show them what you're capable of, you'll learn a lot, and when they need to hire for a position they'll already know you, and what you're capable of.
