My study, November 21, 2009
I woke up this morning gung-ho ready to put some miles on... only to run out of steam a hundred miles down the road when I stopped at a rest area for a break. What the..? That break lasted for hours and I only made it down I-81 as far as Chambersburg PA. Winter's weather is not pushing me - November quite mild here in the east this year - so what's the hurry (says one who couldn't wait to get on the road)?
Adding a studio workshop to this fulltiming rig
A goal this summer was to add a studio workshop to this fulltiming setup. I've been chewing this bone a long time and I finally cracked it. Tools are heavy and LD is built on a relatively light duty chassis leaving me few options. A box trailer with a shop built in seemed like a reasonable approach but dealing with a trailer all the time would be a drag. It's certainly doable but I'd rather not be bothered.
There's gotta be a way.
And there is. Given that only so much weight can be carried in this rig it comes down to priorities. Toss a pound of whatever - add a pound of hammers. Toss what is not important to me - add what is. Aha! It's so simple.
So I did just that.

The Value of Time
Time is the most valuable and finite commodity that any living thing has. Think about it, everything – you, me, people, plants, animals, even the Earth itself – has a limited and set amount of time. From the moment we come into existence, we begin an inevitable march to a final end. Even the age of our solar system exists in but a minute of time within the context of the history of the universe. The average human lifespan does not even register on that clock. With that said, in many ways, time is the very definition of life itself.
