Feeling a little conflicted about the blog. It's clearly the ego speaking, some need for attention, some need to seem important that drives this constant flow of Me on the intertubes. Not really sure what I'm going to do about it. If I get any deeper into it this blog may just cease to exist.
Here's a video rock-u-mentary that our banjo player put together, it covers the first few days, there will be more to come.
Next month I'm on the road, doing 7 shows with the Dusters and 4 shows with my wife. Hoping to take the bike with me, maybe hit up the MSG race in Bristol during the day between our Johnson City shows. Scored a Yakima Space Booster for $105 on Craigslist yesterday. I didn't realize how long it was; can't really open the rear door.
Trying to decide if I'll a) drill new holes and slide it forward b) deal with the door not opening even halfway or c) try to trade/sell it and get a newer/shorter one. They make them now with these awesome lever-style mounts so you can take the thing on and off in a matter of seconds. It takes about 15-20 minutes to put this one on. The good news is my total investment in the rack is now $325. New, it would cost me $360 for the locking steelheads, $250 for the cargo box, $160 for the control towers, $70 for the bars, $100 for the copperhead and $35 for the wheel fork. $975 total. Now, granted, all of my stuff is between 6 and 10 years old, but it all functions perfectly and once I buy a four pack of locking cylinders ($40) it will all be tidy and secure. Now I just need a ski rack for ski season and another wheel fork and I'm good to go (possibly wider cross-bars).
