paulmbowers 236 Posted January 9, 2009 I've got everything laid out in the alley behind the house like a garage sale. An high-dollar garage sale. Time to hook up the trailer. p OH- If you're riding in my group, bring more tools, and less 1st aid stuff. If you get hurt, I'll mend- if I get a flat tire, you can fix it. Deal?

Also forgot I had to go to DMV today and get new tags. The refrigerator at home went out, so scrambled getting coolers and stuff before food went bad. Went shopping and bought a fridge. Oh yea, I'm still at work trying to get the stuff done that I didn't finish today because of the fridge and DMV. Time to have a beer and think about what I should pack for tomorrows ride . See you in the morning. Ken Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
