i mentioned some technology drama. one result of our space constraints is that we had to put our printer on the floor, and i was worried that it would suck up dust bunnies from underneath. i should have been more concerned with what might fall in from above. image copyright 2009 will pattison
and i can attest that the break-down & reassembly took way less time than anyone would imagine….like just a couple of hours…and that INCLUDES walking to the hardware store to buy a screwdriver!
You mean that marine boy, engineer boy, moto boy, didn’t think to pack a tool kit in the box. However, the fact that you were savvy enough to head to the store keeps you from a complete survival fail. Kidding. Congrats on your victory.
yes, you’ve actually uncovered one of my most embarassing facts about this trip. somehow i packed a 300lb crate and totally forgot my leatherman!
In our throw-away society, it’s good to see that someone can still fix what most would have thrown away and replaced.

Hey Will,
It looks like you are having a heck of a time over there!
I raced the first round of the National Enduro Series on Sunday in Sumter, SC. I had a great ride, and enjoyed myself immensely. I’m just a ‘B-Class Schmoe’, so I sure don’t have any great stories of winning the overall or anything like that. It was an awesome day though.
Lots of snow and ice at home today. Kids are home from school, and all that fun stuff.

one of the reasons we picked belgium for this adventure is the food, which is widely regarded as excellent. mussels, shrimp, chocolate, frites, and of course waffles. i think the most heard comment before we left was “eat a waffle for me!” well, we have…several times. the belgians have elevated fries and waffles to an...
