Well, ya know what ?? Spring has finally sprung and the motivation gland is pumping out happy endorphines.
I went to the huge Bike Expo in nearby Seattle with my friend Kerry to get pumped about all things outdoors. It was a worthy journey. My blood is churning ! But the Amtrac was half-assed !
I decided to get my good'ol Outbound tent out for some seam sealing and water testing. Good thing I took the time- she failed. I guess I need a new tent. Crap ! I decided on the new " Hubba" maybe pick it up this week. Also ordered front panniers and handlebar bag from Caps . Arkel T 28 and large Handlebar Bag. $$$$$
I would like the GT 18's, but overall cost would be Crazy! I also passed up the Ortlieb front Roller Classics.
I got some new fenders and installed them tonight (beer assisted) Also got a mid range solar charger from MEC. "PowerFilm" USB+AA. ( to power AA Batteries for camera, I POD and Cell Phone)
My old tent served me well...sob ! 
Nice fenders though...
Folded and outstretched...
$98.00 @ MEC
Seems to work well and is nice and light.
Will stretch it over rear panniers while riding. Solar Charger unfolded...
Around 14 inches long( going by memory)
- that's not a good source, believe me.
In the Spending frenzy,... I got sucked into buying this solar powered/crank assist radio for 40% off. Maybe I can use it for local stuff, I don't know yet. It's heavy, but Sadistically Cool somehow.
Once I have remaining panniers, I can load 'em up for some test rides.
Until then....
